NORAD is an Alternative to CPAP for Sleep Apnea

March 25th, 2010

The NORAD is an FDA approved oral appliance for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. It is a “boil & bite” appliance which means it can be fit and delivered to a patient immediately without waiting for lab fabrication. This makes it an ideal temporary appliance to use when patients need to undergo dental work or if they’ve lost or damaged their existing appliance. The strong construction of the NORAD will hold up to many months and even years of use making this boil & bite appliance even more versitile.

Many of the features found on the NORAD have never been available in a boil & bite appliance before and some are not even available on much more expensive lab fabricated appliances.

Cpap:Philips Respironics EasyLife Nasal vs Resmed SoftGel Nasal

Cpap:Philips Respironics EasyLife Nasal vs Resmed SoftGel Nasal

What is CPAP therapy?
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. A CPAP machine provides air at a prescribed pressure through a tube and CPAP mask to a person with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which holds the airway open so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. This eliminates sleep apnea events and allows the patient to get a restful sleep.

The pressure of the air is determined during your sleep study and your doctor will prescribe you a CPAP machine at that pressure.

CPAP therapy is traditionally provided through a nasal mask that seals around the nose. However, more innovative and comfortable options are available and advances in the delivery of CPAP therapy are continually occurring.

For instance: CPAPs with that boast FLEX or EPS technology will offer you exhalation relief. APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel machines offer various levels of pressure throughout the night and exhalation relief.
