Sleep better without CPAP. Can't tolerate your CPAP? Oral appliances offer an effective alternative for mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring.
The problem with CPAP: 50% of patients can't tolerate it. Uncomfortable, noisy, impractical for travel, relationship issues.
The appliance holds your lower jaw slightly forward during sleep, which opens the airway, prevents the tongue from blocking the throat and reduces vibrations.
We offer several mandibular advancement device models, all custom-made from a 3D scan of your teeth.
Sleep test (polysomnography or home test), prescribed by your physician.
Evaluation of your bite and TMJ, verification of your candidacy, 3D scan.
Custom-made appliance, precise adjustment at delivery.
Progressive jaw advancement to find the optimal position. Follow-up sleep test.
