Oral Sleep Appliances
A better night's sleep starts here
A comfortable, quiet alternative to CPAP for treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. For patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or chronic snoring, oral appliance therapy offers an effective, non-invasive treatment option.

Schedule a ConsultationWhat is Oral Appliance Therapy?
An oral appliance is a custom-fitted device that looks similar to a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. Worn only during sleep, it supports your jaw in a forward position to keep your airway open.
Many patients find it more comfortable and easier to use than CPAP therapy.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy
Easy to Wear
Custom-fitted to your mouth, oral appliances are comfortable and easy to get used to wearing.
Quiet & Discreet
Unlike CPAP machines, oral appliances are silent and don't require electricity or tubing.
Portable & Convenient
Small enough to fit in your pocket, making travel easy without bulky equipment.
Improved Sleep Quality
Better breathing leads to deeper, more restful sleep and increased daytime energy.
Is Oral Appliance Therapy Right for You?
Oral appliance therapy may be an excellent option if you:
- Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Snore loudly and it affects your sleep or your partner's sleep
- Cannot tolerate or prefer not to use CPAP therapy
- Want a portable solution for travel
- Are looking for a non-surgical treatment option
A sleep study and physician's prescription are required before beginning oral appliance therapy. We can help coordinate with your physician or refer you to a sleep specialist if needed.
Better Sleep for You and Your Partner
Effective treatment of sleep apnea and snoring doesn't just improve your health—it can transform your partner's sleep quality too. Many couples report significantly better rest after beginning oral appliance therapy.
The Treatment Process

Your doctor or sleep specialist diagnoses obstructive sleep apnea or snoring and provides a prescription for oral appliance therapy.
