Oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable and convenient way to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring without masks, hoses, or a bedside machine. Worn during sleep like a slim mouthguard, a custom-fitted, adjustable oral appliance gently supports the lower jaw in a forward position to help keep the airway open and reduce breathing interruptions.

Quiet, portable, easy to maintain, and often easier to incorporate into everyday life, oral appliance therapy can promote better sleep, improved daytime alertness, and a better quality of life -while helping bed partners rest more peacefully, too. It may be an excellent option for adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, as well as those who cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer an alternative treatment. Certain patients with more severe sleep apnea may also be considered when CPAP is unsuccessful or intolerable. Candidacy should be determined through a medical sleep evaluation and a dental examination, with treatment provided using a custom, adjustable appliance under the care of a qualified dentist.
