Sleep Apnea Appliances vs. CPAP: Pros & Cons

Learn the pros and cons of sleep apnea appliances vs. CPAP. Perfected Smiles in Rochelle Park, NJ, helps patients find the right solution.

Why Sleep Apnea Treatment Matters

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that disrupts sleep and affects overall health. The two most common treatments are CPAP machines and oral appliances. Patients in Bergen County often ask which option is best for their needs. Understanding the pros and cons helps make treatment decisions easier.

At Perfected Smiles, Dr. Jason Schepis, DMD and Dr. Ryan Maher guide patients toward safe and effective solutions.

How CPAP Therapy Works

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine keeps airways open by delivering steady airflow through a mask. It is highly effective for moderate to severe cases but can be noisy, bulky, and uncomfortable for some patients. Many people stop using CPAP due to difficulty adjusting.

Compliance is often the biggest challenge with CPAP therapy.

How Dental Appliances Work

Dental appliances reposition the jaw slightly forward, keeping the airway open during sleep. They are quiet, portable, and easy to wear, making them more comfortable for many patients. However, they are most effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea, and not every patient is a candidate.

Comfort and convenience are the biggest advantages of appliances.
