What Is a Sleep Apnea Dental Appliance?

A sleep apnea dental appliance (also known as an oral appliance, mandibular advancement device, or mouth/oral sleep device) is a custom designed small mouthpiece worn during sleep. It gently moves your lower jaw forward to keep the airway open and prevent the throat from collapsing.

 

This helps:

• Reduce or eliminate apnea episodes

• Improve oxygen flow to your lungs and body

• Minimize snoring

• Boost sleep quality and daytime energy

​

​

Who Is It For?

Dental appliances are recommended for people who:

• Have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea

• Are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy or wish to try another solution

• Prefer a quiet, travel-friendly solution

• Snore heavily and experience daytime fatigue

• Have been referred by a sleep physician or have completed a sleep study

We’ll help determine if you’re a good candidate and work with your physician to coordinate care.

​

We offer - Simple easy at-home sleep study analysis to see if you're a good fit for a custom OSA sleep apnea appliance.
