Your path starts with a thorough evaluation of your airway, jaw alignment, and oral structures. We’ll review your sleep history, and may suggest a home sleep test or coordinate with your sleep physician to confirm an accurate diagnosis.

Understanding the Value of Custom Sleep Appliances

Custom sleep appliances play a vital role in managing conditions like obstructive sleep apnea and Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). Unlike over-the-counter options, these appliances are meticulously designed to address specific needs, ensuring greater comfort and improved outcomes. By gently repositioning the jaw to maintain an open airway throughout the night, patients often report reduced snoring, better-quality rest, and relief from jaw-related discomfort.

Comprehensive Evaluation for Tailored Treatment

Before recommending a custom sleep appliance, we begin with a detailed assessment of your oral structures, jaw alignment, and airway. This thorough examination helps us identify any underlying concerns, such as habitual snoring or signs of sleep apnea. In some cases, we may collaborate with sleep physicians to conduct additional tests or utilize a home sleep study. By understanding your unique anatomy and sleep patterns, we can design an appliance that truly addresses your specific needs.

Advanced Digital Impressions for a Perfect Fit

To achieve exceptional precision and comfort, our team employs the latest digital impression technology. This modern approach captures exact measurements of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues, which allows us to create a sleep appliance with a flawless fit. The result is a device that stays securely in place while you rest, helping to minimize disruptions and maximize treatment effectiveness. Because it’s personalized just for you, there’s also less likelihood of irritation or the need for frequent adjustments.

Ongoing Support and Holistic Care

After you begin using your custom sleep appliance, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary modifications. Our goal is not only to ensure the device continues working optimally but also to address other contributing factors, such as daytime habits or additional therapies. By exploring options like myofunctional exercises, positional therapy, or coordination with medical professionals, we deliver comprehensive care designed to help you enjoy a healthier, more restful life.
