Try Our Comfortable & Easy Treatment

An oral appliance is a simple solution for sleep apnea that fits right in your mouth. Your sleep appliance works by positioning your lower jaw slightly forward to prevent airway blockage during sleep. This simple adjustment keeps oxygen flowing freely throughout the night.

The compact design means no electricity, no noise, and no bulky equipment cluttering your bedroom. You can pack your treatment in a small travel case and enjoy restful sleep anywhere you go.

The sleek appliance feels natural in your mouth, similar to wearing a retainer. Within a week, you'll probably forget you're even wearing your sleep appliance.

Each device is crafted from detailed impressions of your unique bite and mouth shape. This custom fit ensures maximum comfort and the best results for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea, occurs when your airway becomes temporarily blocked repeatedly while you sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point that your airway is restricted, causing you to quit breathing for a few seconds. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour in severe sleep apnea sufferers.
Why is sleep apnea bad?
Sleep apnea can greatly affect the quality of your sleep, leaving you drained and exhausted during your day and affecting activities like driving and working. Sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. Getting help for your sleep apnea now can improve your quality of life and possibly extend your lifespan.
How is sleep apnea treated?
We treat sleep apnea with a custom mouthguard that moves your jaw into a position that keeps your airway open throughout the night. This allows you to breathe easily so you can rest. Many patients prefer a mouthguard to a CPAP machine, another common sleep apnea treatment. Unlike a CPAP, you won't need to adjust to wearing a mask while you sleep. Plus, you can easily take a mouthguard with you anywhere you go.
