There are several devices available for sufferers of sleep apnea. Mouthpieces can be designed just for you so that they fit perfectly in your mouth. You can be given a tongue retaining device that will hold your tongue in a fixed position if it has a tendency to collapse in your throat. An expert in devices for sleep apnea in Thousand Oaks can also provide you with a mandibular advancement device that will reposition your lower jaw so that your airways have more room.
An alternative to oral appliances is CPAP machines. This is a machine that gently forces air through your airways. A mask is placed over your nose, and since air is being forces through your nose, you can breathe easier at night. Your mask can also be customized for the most comfortable fit possible.
