Sleep Deeply & Comfortably With a Custom Mouthguard
Obstructive sleep apnea is a breathing disorder where your tongue or the muscles in your throat manage to block your airways, cutting off your oxygen repeatedly throughout the night. These constant sleep disturbances make it impossible for you to get the deep rest your body needs. While a CPAP machine is still a time-tested treatment option, it's not for everyone.
A CPAP requires a mask to be worn over the mouth, causing patients to wake up each morning with a dry, sore throat. The attached hose, machine, and electric cord can also create a rather cumbersome nightly routine and noisy sleep environment for you and your loved ones. A custom mouthguard, on the other hand, gently moves your jaw forward to leave your airway open for easier breathing all night long, making this solution more:
- Comfortable - Instead of wearing a face mask or listening to a noisy machine, your mouthguard fits snugly and comfortably in your mouth so you and your partner can enjoy a quiet night's sleep.
- Convenient - Since a mouthguard fits in the palm of your hand, you can take this travel-sized sleep apnea treatment with you anywhere. It's also much easier to use and keep clean than a CPAP machine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition caused when your airway becomes obstructed while you sleep. This usually occurs when your tongue or other soft tissue in your mouth temporarily relaxes. This causes frequent interruptions in your breathing that make it nearly impossible for you - and often your household - to get a good night's rest.
Why is sleep apnea bad?
Sleep apnea not only disrupts your sleep, but it has also been linked to several major health conditions. These include high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. Getting treatment early on can help you avoid these health issues, enjoy a better quality of life, and even potentially help you live longer.
How is sleep apnea treated?
If you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, our practice will take impressions and have a custom-fit sleep apnea appliance made for you to wear while sleeping. It will gently move your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open. It can even reduce snoring. You'll sleep better, feel better, and improve your overall health.
