You know the toll of poor sleep: morning headaches, crushing fatigue, and the strain it puts on your health and relationships. If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you may dread the thought of a lifetime tethered to a CPAP machine. At Quality Sleep Solutions, we hear you: Snoring Is A Problem, But So Is Wearing A CPAP.
There is a proven, comfortable, and non-invasive alternative. Oral Appliance Therapy is an FDA-approved, first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This custom-fitted dental device works while you sleep, repositioning your jaw to keep your airway open, allowing you to breathe freely and sleep soundly. Imagine waking up feeling truly rested, with more energy for your day and your life.Â
Oral Appliance Therapy involves wearing a custom-made medical device, similar to a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer, while you sleep. It is precisely fabricated from digital impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.
Unlike one-size-fits-all options, our professional oral appliances are designed to gently and comfortably advance your lower jaw slightly forward. This forward positioning prevents the muscles and soft tissues at the back of your throat from collapsing during sleep, the primary cause of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. For many patients, this therapy also protects against the damaging effects of nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), which often accompanies airway issues.
