CPAP is no longer the only treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine considers oral appliances a first line treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea and an alternative to CPAP for severe sleep apnea. The National Sleep Foundation has declared that "Oral Appliances are a Therapy Whose Time has Come".
American Sleep Medicine and Chicagoland Dental Sleep Medicine are working together in Skokie, Illinois to offer a full range of treatment possibilities to sleep apnea patients.
