WITH

Oral Appliance Therapy 

How Does It Work?

Comparison of normal sleep with obstructive sleep apnea showing narrowed and opened airway, and the use of a mandibular repositioning device to move the jaw forward and open the airway.

An oral appliance works by allowing the tongue and lower jaw to move forward which opens and stabilizes the airway. You must be custom fitted for an oral appliance in order for it to be effective.

Over-the-counter devices are not recommended as a treatment option for snoring or sleep apnea and have been proven to not be as effective. Members of the sleep team collaborate to provide you with oral appliance therapy. The board certified sleep medicine physician must diagnose obstructive sleep apnea using a sleep study. Once you are diagnosed, a dental sleep medicine specialist can fit you with an oral appliance. These dentists must have special training in treating sleep apnea.
