cPAP Intolerance

Sleep apnea is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent diseases in North America. Once thought of as a condition of obesity, we are recognizing that it can affect everyone, all shapes, sizes and activity levels.

Although a cPAP machine is often considered the first line of treatment, many patients do not tolerate them well. We can work with your sleep physician to determine if oral appliance therapy could be considered as a means to improve the ability of their restlessness, or as an alternative to increasing positive airway pressure.

Please visit www.somnomed.com for more information on one version of an oral appliance, or contact our office for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Markham, please call 705-788-3067. 

Below is an example of the nighttime appliance that we can provide.
