The Non-disruptive, Convenient Way To Treat Sleep Apnea
Our approach to treating sleep apnea considers your right to restful sleep by being both convenient and functional. Oral appliances are less disruptive than other sleep apnea treatments, like CPAP, and allow for easier use. Oral appliances can help treat sleep apnea caused by the jaw obstructing the throat. When sleeping, a mouth guard will work to correct your jaw by bringing it forward, allowing for reduction of snoring and a clear passageway for breathing.
