Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, a comfortable, travel-friendly alternative to CPAP.
Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fit device worn during sleep to reposition the jaw and keep the airway open, reducing apneic episodes and improving sleep quality for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Your sleep study is reviewed and your oral structures evaluated. Impressions and scans are taken to fabricate your custom appliance. Follow-up sleep testing confirms efficacy and adjustments are made as needed.
A well-fitted oral appliance keeps the airway open during sleep, reducing apneic events and improving oxygen levels, sleep quality, daytime energy, and long-term cardiovascular health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sleep apnea treatment.
For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, Concierge Dental Design offers oral appliance therapy, a custom device worn during sleep. It gently repositions the jaw to keep the airway open, reducing interruptions in breathing. It is a comfortable alternative to a CPAP machine for many people. We coordinate with your sleep physician on your diagnosis.
It is a custom-fit device, similar to a retainer, that holds the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open while you sleep. It is made from impressions or scans of your teeth for a precise, comfortable fit. Many patients find it far easier to travel with and tolerate than a CPAP. We adjust it to balance comfort and effectiveness.
It is best suited to people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine. A sleep study and diagnosis from a physician guide the decision. We review your case and oral structures to confirm it is appropriate. Treatment is always coordinated with your medical team.
CPAP remains the gold standard for severe apnea, but oral appliances are an effective, more convenient option for many people with milder cases or CPAP intolerance. Comfort and consistency matter, since the best treatment is the one you actually use. We help you and your physician weigh the options. The goal is restful, healthier sleep.
Untreated sleep apnea is linked to fatigue, high blood pressure, heart problems, and other health risks, so treating it protects far more than your sleep. Better breathing at night improves energy, focus, and long-term wellness. Oral appliance therapy can be a comfortable path to that improvement. We are glad to be part of your care team.
