CPAP Machines are frequently used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP refers to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This technology is specially designed to generate air pressure for the patient to maintain an open airway, supporting regular breathing patterns.
Most CPAP masks are fitted over the nasal area and can be configured to match the movement of the mouth. They hover over the patients mouth to maintain their comfort and prevent any irritation. This comfort is especially important for patients who have to wear their mask for the entire night.
CPAP machines are portable, and can be important for patients who do not have consistent transportation to the dental office. These machines are lightweight and allowed to be carried effortlessly anywhere. They are also referred to as “travel CPAP machines” and are allowed in most aircraft and public transportation systems.
