Sleep Apnea Appliance Therapy
We offer custom oral appliance therapy as a comfortable and effective solution for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or chronic snoring. This device is designed to gently reposition the jaw and keep the airway open during sleep, helping improve breathing, reduce snoring, and promote more restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Each appliance is custom-made for your mouth to ensure a precise fit and optimal comfort. Our team works closely with you—and when needed, your physician—to evaluate your condition and determine if this treatment is right for you. This non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy allows many patients to enjoy better sleep quality and improved overall health.
How Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Works
Our sleep apnea treatment begins with proper case selection to ensure safety and effectiveness. Patients must have good overall oral health and a confirmed diagnosis of sleep apnea (typically from a physician or sleep study) before starting therapy. During your consultation, we evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw to determine if you are a good candidate for an oral appliance and discuss expectations and treatment goals.
Once approved, we take a precise digital scan of your teeth to fabricate a custom appliance. We carefully select the type of appliance based on your comfort, jaw position, and effectiveness in maintaining an open airway during sleep. At the delivery appointment, we fit and adjust the device for optimal comfort and function. To help monitor results, patients are provided with a pulse oximeter wrist device to wear at home, allowing us to evaluate oxygen levels and the effectiveness of the appliance in improving your breathing and sleep quality.
