Will it be comfortable?

Your appliance is thin, made to fit your teeth, and adjusted gradually over a few weeks until it feels comfortable.

Can children have sleep apnea?

Yes. Snoring or mouth breathing in children can be linked to large tonsils, nasal blockage or a narrow airway. Mention it at their checkup and to their doctor.

How an oral appliance helps you breathe.

During sleep, the muscles of the jaw and tongue relax. In some people the tongue falls back and narrows the airway, causing snoring or pauses in breathing. A custom oral appliance holds the lower jaw gently forward, which brings the tongue forward and helps keep the airway open.

1An open airway

Air flows freely. Quiet, restful sleep.

2Narrowed: snoring

As you sleep, the tongue and soft palate relax back. Air squeezes past and vibrates them.

3Blocked: sleep apnea

The airway closes again and again. Breathing stops briefly and your brain wakes you to restart it, often many times an hour.

4With an oral appliance

Made in our clinic, it holds your lower jaw gently forward, which brings the tongue forward and helps keep the airway open.

What patients ask about snoring and sleep apnea.

Still have a question? Just ask. No question is too small, and our front desk team answers ones like these every day.

Is snoring always sleep apnea?

No. Many people snore without sleep apnea. But loud snoring with pauses in breathing, gasping or daytime tiredness should be checked.

Do I need a sleep study?

Yes. A sleep study confirms whether you have sleep apnea and how severe it is. We can help coordinate this with your doctor or a sleep clinic.

Is an oral appliance an alternative to CPAP?

For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is a comfortable alternative. Your doctor and our dentists will help decide what is right for you.

Will an appliance stop my snoring?

For many people, holding the lower jaw gently forward reduces snoring by helping keep the airway open. We check fit and comfort over the first few weeks and adjust it as needed.

Is it covered by insurance?

Some extended health plans include coverage for oral appliances when sleep apnea is diagnosed. We’ll give you a written estimate and help you check your plan.

How soon can I be seen?

Same-day appointments are often available, including Saturdays, at Fleetwood and Newton. Free parking at both, and our team speaks English and Punjabi at both clinics, plus Polish and Serbian at Fleetwood.

What will my visit cost?

Many extended health plans help cover oral appliances once sleep apnea is diagnosed. We’ll give you a written estimate and help with the forms, and we bill most insurers directly. Insurance & direct billing.
