Oral Appliance Therapy

In cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy represents an excellent option in care. By decreasing the frequency or duration of sleep apneas and the associated episodes of overly shallow and interrupted breathing, oral appliance therapy eases sleep time respiratory struggles for improved health, safety, and overall well-being.

Designed to maintain a patent airway

Similar in fit and feel to a removable orthodontic retainer, an oral appliance for the treatment of sleep apnea is fully customized for comfort and to meet the unique anatomic and functional needs of every case. As designed to help keep the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing, this appliance enables the airway to remain open and patent during sleep.

Calibrated for maximum effectiveness

In addition to being custom-crafted for a precise and comfortable fit, every oral appliance gets calibrated for maximum effectiveness. Besides serving as an effective treatment for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, oral appliances can also be considered an alternative option for certain patients intolerant of CPAP therapy.
