Did you know there are alternatives to CPAP to treat your sleep apnea and snoring while travelling.?
The two most effective alternatives to CPAP therapy are Mandibular Advancement Splints and Provent.
The Mandibular Advancement Splint is a mouth guard, which brings the bottom jaw forward. It allows more room in the back of the airway for the tongue to sit. While these are available as a boil and bite device from chemists and other health providers, we do recommend getting these made professionally by dentists.
Provent is a bandaid-like device which sits on your nostrils. When you breathe in, there’s no difference, but when you breathe out, it will create a back pressure to keep your airway open.
As always, the single most important thing with any treatment that you use is to ensure that it is effectively treating your snoring and sleep apnoea. This is a discussion best had with a Medical professional.
