What Are Sleep Apnea Devices?
Sleep Apnea Devices are custom-fitted to help keep the airway open while you sleep. They work by gently moving the lower jaw to prevent airway collapse. This is a common cause of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. These devices are made custom to your mouth for comfort and effectiveness.
Benefits of Oral Sleep Devices
- Improved breathing during sleep
- Reduced snoring and sleep interruptions
- More restful sleep for you and your partner
- A non-CPAP alternative for mild to moderate sleep apnea
- Custom fit for long-term comfort
How Do Sleep Apnea Devices Work
Each device is designed slightly different, but they all work relatively the same: keeping your airway open while you sleep.
First, your dentist will decide if a custom device is the right option for your specific needs. The devices are made to improve breathing, reduce snoring, and support your long-term health by minimizing the effects of sleep apnea.
Most sleep apnea devices gently move the lower jaw forward. This helps prevent the tongue and soft tissues from collapsing into the airway during sleep.
The sleep apnea devices are removable and they are made to fit securely over your teeth, similar to a mouth guard, and are custom made for comfort, stability, and effectiveness.
Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to make sure the device is fitting properly since your bite and jaw position can adapt over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sleep apnea device is a custom oral device that helps keep your airway open while you sleep. It gently moves the lower jaw to reduce airway collapse, which can improve breathing, decrease snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
By moving the lower jaw slightly forward, the device creates more space in the upper airway. This helps reduce airway obstruction, lowering the amount of breathing interruptions and improving overall sleep.
No. A CPAP machine is different.
This device is custom made from impressions of your teeth, so they fit better than over-the-counter options. Initial adjustments may be needed to make sure the comfort and proper airflow are as expected. The dentist will schedule follow-up visits to make sure the device is fitting properly.
Most patients wear their appliance every night while sleeping. With care and regular check-ups, many last for several years.
Some patients experience mild jaw soreness, increased saliva, or minor tooth discomfort as they adjust to the device. This is usually temporary and can often be fixed with adjustments.
