Are you tired of the loud motor hum that keeps you and your partner awake at night, the uncomfortable face straps that need constant adjustment and leave lasting indentations, the bulky hose and water tank that require regular cleaning, and the sheer embarrassment and inconvenience when you travel to see friends and family?
If you have sleep apnea, you understand how frustrating and inconvenient a CPAP machine is, but you also know how dangerous it is to leave your sleep apnea untreated.
Well, the good news is that you could have another treatment option.
Oral Appliance Therapy: A Better Way to Treat OSA
As an alternative to a traditional CPAP machine, we offer oral appliance therapy; this small, quiet, custom-fitted mouthpiece comfortably holds your jaw forward and keeps your airway open.
Oral appliance therapy can address the following concerns:
- Poor sleep quality — If you never get the deep sleep you need, you’ll feel tired even after being in bed for an extended period of time.
- Serious health risks — Untreated sleep apnea could lead to high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, and irregular heartbeat.
- CPAP resistance — Many people simply can’t tolerate a CPAP machine, so they don’t wear it as prescribed or completely stop using it.

Our own Dr. Mancuso handles your oral appliance therapy from start to finish. He can customize a mouthguard right here in our Tampa office, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Dr. Mancuso cares deeply about dental sleep medicine and has advanced training; he’ll happily work with your primary physician or sleep doctor to get you the restful sleep you deserve.
