How do I know if a dental sleep appliance is right for me?

A dental device may be a good fit if you have mild to moderate apnea, snoring, or airway obstruction and prefer a more comfortable option than a CPAP. An exam and sleep screening help confirm the best approach.

Will the appliance feel comfortable to wear at night?

Yes. Each device is custom fitted to your bite and airway needs. After a short adjustment period, most patients find it easy to sleep with and appreciate the reduced snoring and better airflow.

How soon will I notice improvement in my sleep?

Many patients feel a difference within the first few nights—less snoring, fewer awakenings, and better daytime energy. Follow-up visits help fine-tune the fit for the best results.

Will I need follow-up visits after getting the appliance?

Yes. Follow-up visits help confirm comfort, effectiveness, and proper fit, and allow us to make small adjustments for the best long-term results.

What is Sleep Apnea?

When throat muscles relax during sleep, the airway can narrow or close and breathing may pause repeatedly. This is called obstructive sleep apnea. In central sleep apnea the brain does not send the signals needed for breathing. Some patients experience a combination of both.

Common symptoms include: Loud snoring, Waking up choking or gasping, Daytime sleepiness, Morning headaches, poor focus, Irritability, frequent night urination.

Not everyone with sleep apnea snores, and symptoms can be subtle.

When appropriate, we offer same-day treatment.

When to Seek Treatment: Sleep apnea is linked with higher risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and car accidents due to daytime sleepiness. If you or a loved one has symptoms, please seek professional care.
