Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment without CPAP in Berwyn, PA

Chesterbrook Dental Associates treats patients suffering from sleep apnea who have trouble tolerating a CPAP machine or are seeking a simpler solution to sleep apnea and are eligible for oral appliance therapy.

What is Oral Appliance Therapy?

At our dental office, Dr. Kurt Meyers and Dr. Jack Fitzgerald offer patients in and around Berwyn an effective alternative to bulky CPAP machines that is easy to adjust for your comfort and produces excellent results.

Custom made oral appliances, such as mandibular advancement devices, have been proven to treat obstructive sleep apnea successfully. They are worn at night and correct the position of your jaw to prevent chronic obstruction from occurring while you are sleeping.

Simple Can be Better

While there are some cases of sleep apnea that require the use of a CPAP machine, most cases do not. Many of our sleep apnea patients who have had trouble adjusting to this forced air method of apnea prevention have found more complete relief after switching to treatment with our oral appliance.

Chesterbrook Dental Associates has extensive experience treating sleep apnea in Berwyn, and our dentists have earned an excellent reputation in this field. Our team has developed a smooth process that helps patients gain control of a bothersome and serious condition quickly and easily.

A Straightforward Solution for a Complex Problem

At our practice, we understand the importance of treating obstructive sleep apnea and work with your medical insurance plan to make these devices affordable.

Oral appliance therapy can be used as an alternative to CPAP as well as in conjunction with this machine. Our devices travel well, are small enough to fit into a shaving or cosmetic bag, and they won’t stop working when the power goes out.

Treatment at Chesterbrook Dental Associates for Sleep Apnea with Oral Appliances

The initial evaluation includes a thorough examination along with any other information that is available. Sleep studies and an in-depth medical history are helpful if not necessary to begin treatment for apnea. We work closely with your primary care provider and your insurance carrier to help the process go smoothly.

Once you have been approved for treatment, our dentist will measure your airway, take precise impressions, and craft your custom appliance. Our trusted lab typically delivers your new device in under two weeks.
