Could You Be Living with Sleep Apnea?

An estimated 25 million adults in the U.S. struggle with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a chronic condition often marked by loud snoring and frequent nighttime awakenings—sometimes occurring as often as 50 times per hour.

Here’s some good news: we offer an effective solution for those struggling with sleep apnea that can help improve sleep quality and overall well-being. Oral appliances are a treatment option for adults who either cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or prefer an alternative approach.

Studies show that oral appliance therapy effectively reduces snoring and obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. These devices are worn only at night and work by gently positioning your jaw forward to keep the upper airway open. Many patients find oral appliances more comfortable than CPAP masks. Additional advantages include their portability, quiet operation, and easy maintenance—making them an excellent choice for people who travel frequently or enjoy outdoor activities.

Accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment—and here’s the good news: most patients can complete a sleep test right at home, in the comfort and privacy of their own space.

During your new patient evaluation, our doctors will determine if an at-home sleep test is a suitable option for you. If so, the test device will be mailed to you or provided at one of our locations, along with clear, step-by-step instructions. Typically, two nights of testing are recommended. Afterward, you simply return the device to us by mail or drop it off.

A Board-Certified Sleep Physician will carefully review the results. Then, your provider will meet with you to discuss personalized treatment options tailored to your results and individual goals.

CPAP Therapy
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy involves wearing a mask over your nose or face, depending on the style that suits you best. The device delivers a steady stream of compressed air to keep your airway open, preventing any obstruction while you sleep.

Oral Appliance Therapy
As an alternative to CPAP, Oral Appliance Therapy uses a small device—similar to a nightguard or retainer—worn at night to gently support your lower jaw and tongue muscles. Most patients find these devices comfortable and easy to use. Our Board-Certified Dentists employ advanced digital technology to create a customized oral appliance tailored to your specific needs.

Other Therapies
In addition to CPAP and oral appliances, there are several other treatment options that can complement your therapy. Our experienced doctors will guide you in choosing the best combination for your unique situation.
