If you’re looking for a comfortable, non-invasive way to treat obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy may be the ideal solution. At Smile On Dental Salon & Sleep Apnea Center, we offer advanced, custom-fit oral appliances that help keep your airway open while you sleep — no noisy CPAP machine required.
What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?
A Comfortable Solution for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-made, adjustable device worn during sleep to gently reposition the lower jaw and tongue. This helps stabilize the airway, prevent obstructions, and allow you to breathe freely throughout the night. These appliances are recommended for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or for those who are CPAP-intolerant.
The appliances are:
- Quiet and discreet
- Comfortable and easy to wear
- Travel-friendly and low-maintenance

What to Expect From Treatment
Your Step-by-Step Process
Our dentists will collaborate with your physician to determine if oral appliance therapy is appropriate for you. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Comprehensive exam of your teeth, jaw, and airway
- Digital scans or impressions for a precise fit
- Custom fabrication of your device at a certified dental lab
- In-office fitting and adjustment for comfort and effectiveness
- Ongoing follow-up visits every 3–6 months to monitor and fine-tune treatment
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy

When used correctly, oral appliances can significantly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of OSA. You’ll experience:
- Deeper, more restful sleep
- Less daytime fatigue and better concentration
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular complications

The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine recognizes oral appliance therapy as an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
