Oral Appliances

Oral appliances are custom-made devices worn in the mouth to treat conditions like sleep apnea and snoring. They work by repositioning the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing breathing interruptions. These devices are typically made of plastic or silicone and fit comfortably over the teeth. Oral appliances are a non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines and are often used for mild to moderate sleep apnea cases. They should be fitted and monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
