oral appliance therapy

Oral appliance therapy involves wearing a custom-made device, similar to a mouthguard, designed to improve sleep and breathing. It's often used to treat conditions like sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep. The appliance fits comfortably over the teeth and works by gently repositioning the jaw or tongue to prevent airway obstruction. This non-invasive option is typically used when CPAP machines are not tolerated or as an alternative treatment. Oral appliances are effective, easy to use, and can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health.
