Treatment built around your comfort

Oral sleep apnea devices are designed with advanced materials to keep your airway open while you sleep. They work like a mouthguard that gently moves your lower jaw forward, holding the airway open so you can breathe continuously through the night.

For many patients experiencing obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep physician may recommend an oral appliance to help relieve the underlying symptoms and complications — which can include excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, high blood pressure, and nighttime teeth grinding.

By positioning the lower jaw slightly forward, the appliance brings the tongue forward and expands the throat, keeping the airway open for unobstructed breathing while you’re asleep. There are several designs and styles available — all custom-fitted to the contours of your mouth.

Given the potentially dangerous complications of untreated sleep apnea, it’s critical to work closely with your dentist to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and supports your overall health.
