Sleep Apnea Mask Alternative in San Diego
Sleep apnea mask alternatives in San Diego from our Solana Beach practice, oral appliances and positional therapy designed for San Diego patients who want effective treatment without masks.
Beyond CPAP Masks
Sleep apnea mask alternatives in San Diego exist. Many San Diego patients quit CPAP therapy because masks are uncomfortable. They slip. They leak. They press on your face. Oral appliances and positional therapy work for San Diego without masks.
San Diego patients hate their masks. The straps leave marks. The air blows in your eyes. You cannot sleep on your side. You wake up frustrated. There is a better way. Dr. David F. Urich, DDS fits San Diego patients with solutions that work without masks.
Oral appliances are the main mask alternative in San Diego. A small device fits in your mouth like a retainer. It gently moves your lower jaw forward. Your airway opens. You breathe normally. No mask. No machine.
Positional therapy is another mask alternative in San Diego. A wearable device trains you to sleep on your side. Your airway stays open. No mask needed. Both options work for San Diego patients who quit CPAP because of discomfort. San Diego patients reach our Solana Beach office for mask-free consultations with a short drive up the coast.
Your San Diego alternative starts with a conversation. We review your sleep apnea history. We explain your options. We fit you with a device that works for your San Diego lifestyle. Book your mask-free consultation in San Diego today.
