Waking up with a very sore or dry throat
Loud snoring
Occasionally waking up with a choking or gasping sensation
Sleepiness or lack of energy during the day
Sleepiness while driving
Morning headaches
Restless sleep

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Discover oral appliance therapy.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AADSM) recommends oral appliance therapy as an alternative first-line treatment for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. As well as those patients that can not tolerate wearing a CPAP device.

Where to get them

We fabricate our very own FDA-approved oral devices for a more precise and better fit as well as a reduced waiting time.

When to wear them

They are worn during your sleep and are similar to sports mouthguards or orthodontic appliances.

How they work

These appliances hold your lower jaw forward just enough to keep the airway open and prevent your tongue and muscles from collapsing and blocking your airway.
