- Oral Appliance Therapy: Oral appliances such as a mandibular advancement device may be a good alternative to PAP therapy. It gently repositions your jaw and tongue to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
- Inspire: Inspire is a breakthrough, FDA approved treatment to help treat insomnia that works inside your body. It is a small device implanted under the skin that gently pulses to keep your airway open while you sleep. Controlled with a handheld remote, Inspire is a convenient and effective option for people who struggle with PAP therapy.
