Oral Airway Therapy (OAT)

Oral Airway Therapy (OAT) is a non-invasive, customized solution for addressing airway restrictions and related conditions. It’s commonly recommended for individuals who experience:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Repeated pauses in breathing during sleep due to airway blockages.
• Chronic Snoring: Caused by narrowed or partially obstructed airways.
• Airway-Related Sleep Disorders: Conditions that disrupt restful sleep.

1. Personalized Consultation: If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) - or if you have concerns about it - Dr. Mather works closely with respirologists and physicians to ensure a coordinated approach to your care. During your appointment with Dr. Scott Mather, your airway health, jaw alignment, and symptoms are thoroughly assessed.
2. Custom Appliance Design: A unique oral appliance is crafted to fit comfortably and suit your specific needs.
3. Consistent Use: The appliance is worn during sleep, gently positioning the jaw to keep the airway open.
4. Follow-Up Care: Dr. Mather monitors your progress, ensuring the appliance provides optimal results.

This treatment is ideal for patients who:

• Diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and are looking for a possible alternative option to CPAP therapy.
• Are looking for a portable backup option for CPAP users who find it difficult to travel with their full CPAP machine.
• Patients who do not have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) but would like to get rid of snoring.

• While Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) can be effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), its overall efficacy is generally lower than CPAP therapy. It is not considered a direct replacement for CPAP.
• OAT may be a good alternative for patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy. However, it is important to note that not all patients are suitable candidates for OAT.
• A consultation is required to determine if OAT is appropriate for you. Certain conditions may prevent safe or effective treatment with an oral appliance.
• Ongoing care is important: Dr. Mather works closely with respirologists and physicians to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your therapy.
• If you have already been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or if you have concerns about sleep-disordered breathing, you can book a consultation with Dr. Mather to explore your options. 

Please note: Dr. Mather does not provide obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnoses directly.
