Enjoy Quality Sleep With an Oral Appliance
Get the Rest You Deserve
Obstructive sleep apnea is more than just snoring. It’s a condition that disrupts your breathing and prevents deep, restorative sleep.
You may not even realize you have this sleep disorder, which causes multiple interruptions in breathing during the night.
Your dentist can create a custom-made sleep appliance to treat your apnea condition. The device gently repositions your jaw to prevent airway obstruction and allow proper airflow.
Wearing this device every night will help keep your airway open. Best of all, you can sleep soundly without the discomfort of a CPAP machine.
An appliance is easier to maintain too, requiring no more than cleaning with mild soap and a soft toothbrush.
Make Sleep a Priority
With better sleep, you’ll notice an improvement in your mood, energy, and overall health. Your body will finally get the rest it needs, allowing you to feel more alert and productive throughout the day.
Plus, you’ll lower your risk of conditions like heart disease and high blood pressure.
You can mention your apnea concerns during your checkup. We'll help you take the first step toward a more energized life with your appliance.

Common questions
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Many people with sleep apnea don’t realize they have it, as the condition causes repeated breathing interruptions during sleep. Common signs include loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, excessive daytime fatigue, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating. If your partner notices pauses in your breathing at night or you struggle with persistent tiredness despite getting a full night’s rest, you may have sleep apnea. A professional evaluation can help determine if you need treatment to improve your sleep and overall health.
How does a sleep apnea appliance work?
A sleep apnea appliance is a small, custom-fitted device that gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. Unlike a CPAP machine, it does not require a mask or forced airflow, making it a more comfortable and convenient option for many patients. By preventing airway blockages, the appliance helps you breathe more easily, reduces snoring, and promotes uninterrupted sleep. With consistent use, it can significantly improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
Is a sleep apnea appliance better than a CPAP machine?
For many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is a more comfortable and user-friendly alternative to a CPAP machine. While CPAP therapy uses a mask and continuous airflow to prevent airway collapse, a sleep apnea appliance works by adjusting your jaw position naturally. It is small, easy to travel with, and doesn’t require electricity or maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Your dentist will help determine whether an oral appliance is the right choice for your condition.
