Understanding Sleep Apnea.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep — often without you realizing it. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the airway becomes blocked by relaxed throat muscles, preventing oxygen from reaching your lungs. Symptoms can include loud snoring, gasping for air, morning headaches, fatigue, and irritability.
Sleep apnea treatment focuses on keeping your airway open throughout the night. At our dental clinic, we offer oral appliance therapy — a custom-fitted mouthpiece that gently repositions your jaw to prevent airway obstruction. It’s a comfortable, effective alternative to bulky CPAP machines for mild to moderate cases. By improving airflow, you can sleep soundly, wake up refreshed, and protect your long-term health.

Why Treat Sleep Apnea?
Untreated sleep apnea doesn’t just cause poor sleep — it can lead to serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and even depression. Treating it can dramatically improve your overall well-being and energy levels.
Oral appliance therapy offers a simple, non-invasive way to control your symptoms. Unlike CPAP machines, oral devices are small, silent, and easy to travel with. You’ll notice fewer disruptions during the night, improved concentration during the day, and a significant reduction in snoring — which your partner will appreciate too. Quality sleep means a sharper mind, a healthier heart, and a happier you.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common signs include loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, excessive daytime fatigue, morning headaches, or trouble concentrating. A sleep study (either at home or in a lab) is the most accurate way to confirm the diagnosis.
What is an oral appliance, and how does it work?
An oral appliance is a custom-made dental device that gently moves your lower jaw forward, preventing your airway from collapsing while you sleep. It’s small, comfortable, and an effective alternative to CPAP for many patients.
Is an oral appliance as effective as a CPAP machine?
For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliances are often just as effective — and far easier to use consistently. Patients who struggle with CPAP often find oral appliances more convenient and comfortable.
Will the treatment stop my snoring?
Yes, in most cases. Because snoring is caused by airway obstruction, treating sleep apnea with an oral appliance usually eliminates or significantly reduces snoring.
Can sleep apnea go away on its own?
No, sleep apnea rarely resolves without treatment. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss or quitting smoking can help, but medical or dental intervention is often necessary to restore normal breathing patterns during sleep.
