Understand your symptoms

Snoring does not tell the whole story

Obstructive sleep apnea involves repeated narrowing or closure of the upper airway during sleep. Snoring, observed breathing pauses and daytime sleepiness can be reasons to seek medical evaluation.

Tell your physician about persistent symptoms. A dental screening questionnaire does not replace a medical diagnosis or a sleep study.

A treatment option

What does an oral appliance do?

A custom mandibular advancement appliance holds the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open. It may be an option for selected adults, including some who cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer another approach after discussion with their sleep physician.

It is not a standard grinding guard. Your teeth, gums and jaw need assessment, and the appliance requires adjustment and follow-up. CPAP remains an important treatment; do not discontinue it without advice from your prescriber.

Your questions

Oral appliances and sleep apnea: common questions

No. A mandibular advancement appliance is designed to hold the lower jaw forward during sleep. A standard guard for tooth grinding is not a substitute for a prescribed sleep apnea appliance.
Do not stop or change your prescribed treatment on your own. Discuss your preferences or difficulties with your sleep physician. An oral appliance may be considered if it is appropriate for your diagnosis and dental health.
The medical diagnosis and sleep-study interpretation are handled by a physician. Our dental assessment helps determine whether an oral appliance could be suitable and how to coordinate your care.
Request an appointment at Queen Mary in Montréal or at our Saint-Eustache clinic. Select your preferred location and sleep apnea as the request type on the contact form.
Bring any sleep-study report, prescription, current treatment information and a list of your questions. If you have no diagnosis, tell our team when requesting the appointment.
Dental follow-up checks fit, comfort and possible changes in the teeth or bite. Your sleep physician may arrange follow-up sleep testing to assess treatment effectiveness.
Coverage depends on your policy and the supporting documents your insurer requires. Request an estimate and check eligibility with your insurer before deciding on treatment.
