Understanding Oral Appliance Therapy

Oral Appliance Therapy involves wearing a device in the mouth during sleep. It’s similar to an orthodontic retainer or sports mouthguard. The appliance supports the jaw in a forward position, helping to keep the upper airway open and prevent snoring and apnea.

The benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy include:

  • It’s a non-invasive and comfortable solution for sleep apnea and snoring.
  • Portable and easy to care for, making it ideal for travel.
