Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that causes repeated breathing interruptions during sleep, affecting both sleep quality and overall health.
Common symptoms include:
Untreated sleep apnea has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and other health concerns. The American Dental Association recognizes oral appliance therapy as an effective treatment option for many patients with obstructive sleep apnea, particularly those who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.

These appliances help maintain an open airway during sleep by supporting proper jaw positioning. Treatment may improve sleep quality, reduce snoring, and enhance daytime alertness while offering a comfortable, customized fit.
