ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY
Does Oral Appliance Therapy Help Treat Sleep Apnea?
Many people suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea, yet about 50% of people using a CPAP stop using it because of the complexity of the appliance. Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is an effective option for snoring and OSA.

What is Oral Appliance Therapy (O.A.T)?
Custom-fit, Custom results
Oral Appliance Therapy allows patients to carry on with their everyday lives while improving their Obstructive Sleep Apnea. An OAT device is only worn while sleeping and fits much like a mouth guard or orthodontic retainer. These devices support the jaw allowing for an open airway, making this treatment convenient and effective.
Oral Appliance Therapy is an easy, low-maintenance way to improve your snoring and Sleep Apnea in as little as one night!
The Science Behind OAT's Treatment
OAT uses a custom-fit appliance created from digital mold of the patient’s mouth to prevent their airway from collapsing. This appliance keeps the tongue in place or supports the jaw in a forward position allowing for an open airway.
How OAT is the 'Perfect Fit'
Oral Appliance Therapy is completely customizable to each patient. After the appliance is finished, the patient must come back for a fitting to ensure that the appliance is comfortable and effective. This guarantees that the patient will see the results they desire.
Life Beyond Your Custom Fitting
OAT provides an effective solution to snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Patients who stay committed to their nightly treatment will notice a drastic improvement in multiple aspects of their day-to-day life. Treating Sleep Apnea not only improves your sleep but your health!
