A Comfortable Alternative to CPAP

Oral sleep appliances offer a quieter, more comfortable way to treat sleep apnea—without the noise, tubing, and hassle of a CPAP machine. Worn during sleep, your custom appliance gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open, eliminating snoring and the interruptions that leave you exhausted.

Many of our patients are able to put their CPAP away for good. Beyond better sleep, treating sleep apnea with an oral appliance lowers your risk of serious health consequences linked to untreated apnea, including heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and depression.

You'll wake up feeling more rested, think more clearly during the day, and finally get the quality sleep your body needs to function at its best.

How Your Custom Appliance Is Made

Getting a custom oral sleep appliance starts with digital impressions taken with an intraoral scanner—no messy molds. We send those impressions to our trusted lab partner, who crafts your appliance to fit your mouth precisely.

The appliance works by gently moving your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open while you sleep. It's comfortable, easy to use, and delivers effective treatment night after night.

Sleep Apnea Affects More Than Just Your Sleep

Sleep apnea does far more damage than just leaving you tired. Medical research has connected the disorder to a significantly higher risk of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and depression. Identifying and treating it early makes a real difference.

We perform sleep apnea screenings—sometimes right during your regular checkup—and refer you to a qualified physician for a sleep study if the signs point in that direction.

Children Can Have Sleep Apnea, Too

Sleep apnea isn't just an adult concern. Children who snore, grind their teeth, or suffer from asthma or allergies may also be affected. If you're concerned, ask your child's pediatrician for a referral to a pediatric ENT for a sleep study.

We offer sleep questionnaires you can complete privately and bring to your next appointment to help us understand your symptoms better.
