What Is the Narval CC?
The Narval CC is based on the same concept as many other oral sleep appliances. It is a small device that resembles a mouthguard that you would wear during sports. However, instead of aiming to protect your teeth, its primary purpose is to gently move the jaw forward to keep the airway open at night. It can thus prevent snoring and help to combat the pauses in breathing that are characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea.
Some key features of the Narval CC oral sleep appliance include:
- It is one of the smallest and lightest oral sleep appliances on the market. It was designed for ultimate patient comfort.
- It is constructed out of a flexible material, which makes it ideal for patients who balk at the idea of having hard plastic in their mouth.
- Its small construction makes it very discreet.
- It is custom-made for each patient.
Proven Effective
Research has proven the Narval CC to be an excellent way to address snoring and sleep apnea. Here is a look at some data that showcases its efficacy:
- It helps 9 out of 10 patients stop loud snoring.
- 80 percent of sleep apnea sufferers who use the Narval CC experience a significant decrease in the number of apneas (pauses in breathing) they experience each night.
- For about 66 percent of users, their sleep apnea decreases to the point where it is virtually nonexistent.
- The Narval CC’s comfort makes it easy for patients to comply with treatment. On average, patients wear it for 6.7 hours, 6.7 nights per week.
Is the Narval CC Right for You?
Does the Narval CC oral sleep appliance sound like something that may improve the quality of your sleep? To find out if it is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Hutto, your local dental sleep medicine expert in Baytown. He’ll answer any questions you have about oral appliance therapy and make a treatment recommendation based on your unique circumstances. If you have not undergone a sleep test recently, he may arrange for you to take one before he can prescribe a treatment.
In general, the Narval CC is best for patients who have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. However, it can also be effective for people with severe sleep apnea who find it difficult to comply with CPAP therapy. If you do not mind your CPAP but you would like a treatment for your sleep apnea that is easier to travel with, the Narval CC may be a worthwhile investment.
