Sleep Apnea Treatment in Daytona Beach
There are several methods used to treat sleep apnea, but what most people think of first is CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy, which uses a facial mask worn during sleep to keep the airway open. At Serene Sleep Solutions, our doctor also offers custom-made oral appliances as an alternative — comfortable, portable, easy to use, and completely silent. Countless patients are achieving better sleep with these devices.

CPAP therapy is effective for many patients, but its mask and hose setup isn’t comfortable for everyone. That’s why our doctor also offers oral appliance therapy, which repositions the jaw to keep the airway open without any external equipment. In some cases, a combined approach using both treatments works best, especially for more severe sleep apnea.
Finding the Right Fit for You
Every patient’s treatment plan starts with a consultation, where our doctor reviews your diagnostic results and symptoms to recommend the most appropriate path forward. To see the full range of benefits oral appliance therapy can offer, visit our Advantages of Oral Appliance Treatment page.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment
Is oral appliance therapy as effective as CPAP?
For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy can be just as effective as CPAP. Our doctor will help determine what’s right for your specific case.
Can I switch from CPAP to an oral appliance?
Many patients who’ve struggled with CPAP do successfully switch to oral appliance therapy after a consultation confirms it’s a good fit.
Will I need to use both CPAP and an oral appliance?
Some patients with more severe sleep apnea benefit from combined therapy, using both treatments together for the best results.
How long does treatment typically last?
Sleep apnea treatment is usually ongoing, since the underlying condition doesn’t go away on its own, though many patients see significant symptom improvement fairly quickly.
Do I need a new sleep study before starting treatment?
A recent diagnosis helps guide treatment planning, and our doctor can advise whether updated testing is needed in your case.
