Oral Appliance Therapy

For some patients with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance worn during sleep can help maintain a more open airway by gently advancing the lower jaw.

Oral appliances are not a substitute for a medical diagnosis. We coordinate care with your physician or sleep specialist when appliance therapy is appropriate.

Candidates are typically adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or patients who cannot tolerate CPAP and have been advised that an oral appliance may be suitable. A sleep study and medical guidance usually guide next steps.

Appliances are made from impressions or scans of your teeth for a precise fit. Follow-up visits allow us to adjust comfort and check how the appliance is working with your overall care plan.
