Oral Sleep Appliance
Comfortable, Non-Invasive Support for Better Sleep
For many people with sleep apnea or chronic snoring, an oral sleep appliance offers a comfortable, non-invasive treatment option. At Southwest Smiles Dental Clinic, custom oral sleep appliances are designed to support proper airway positioning during sleep—helping improve breathing, reduce disruptions, and promote more restful sleep.
What Is an Oral Sleep Appliance?
An oral sleep appliance is a custom-fitted dental device worn during sleep. It works by gently repositioning the jaw and tongue to help keep the airway open, reducing airflow obstruction.
These appliances are often recommended for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or for those who are unable to tolerate other treatment options.
