The Dangers Of Snoring

Oral Appliance Therapy

(OAT)

Oral Appliance Therapy

ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY (OAT) is a proven treatment for OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA). Studies have demonstrated that OAT effectively treats OSA through reduction in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and respiratory disturbance index in patients.

OAT provides the same short and long-term health benefits as CPAP.

Those include reduced risk of cardiovascular events, high blood pressure, improved sleep quality and many more benefits.

Patients comply with OAT

CPAP is often prescribed as the first-line therapy for those with OSA; however, about 50% of patients will become non-compliant with their treatment after one year.

Patients prefer OAT

As many as 81% of patients prefer OAT to CPAP because it is effective, easy to use, easy to transport, quiet, comfortable, noninvasive, and less obtrusive.

Qualified dentists (not DME companies) manage OAT

Once prescribed by a physician, oral appliances are provided by a qualified dentist (Dr. Chapman), who is trained in the delivery of oral appliances, as well as the nuances of coordinating treatment for a medical disorder with the diagnosing physician.

Medical insurance covers OAT

Medicare and most major commercial insurers cover OAT.
