How CPAP can prevent snoring
CPAP is an effective solution for snorers, but how does it compare with mandibular advancement?
- The process involves wearing a face mask that pumps air into your upper airway.
- CPAP, knows as continuous positive airway pressure, is a highly recommended solution to prevent snoring.
- CPAP has been proven to provide immediate snoring relief.
It is the recommended treatment for those with moderate or severe sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea sufferers have been known to experience a dramatic improvement in sleep quality and how rested they feel in the morning as a result of using this type of treatment.
CPAP involves the person wearing a facial mask with air blown through it via a pipe from a device around double the size of a shoe box. . CPAP can be extremely beneficial for its users, but for many, the hassle of wearing a facial mask as well as the side effects that including a dry mouth and “bloaty” feeling are too uncomfortable and many often give up after just a couple of weeks using the treatment. Some people as well as their sleeping partners find the machine to be slightly too loud.
In many countries it’s possible to get one of these devices through consultation with a doctor, usually a sleep specialist, if he/she determines that the treatment can potentially benefit you. CPAP starts at about £400 / $650 USD.
But If you are searching for a real alternative to continuous positive airway pressure , then a SleepPro product may well be the right option for you. For many snorers,a mandibular advancement device is the only viable alternative that actually prevents them snoring. Many people prefer using a SleepPro product because it’s far more comfortable for them. However, if you do suffer from moderate to severe sleep apnoea (apnea), then it’s advisable that you shouldn’t choose a mandibular advancement as a substitute for your CPAP machine without permission from your doctor.
