Oral Appliance Sleep Apnea Treatment in Orem, UT

Loud snoring, waking up tired, and struggling to stay alert during the day are common complaints for people with obstructive sleep apnea. Many people find CPAP machines hard to tolerate, and others simply want to learn about alternatives. An oral appliance is a custom device worn during sleep that gently positions the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open. Untreated sleep apnea is linked to other health concerns, so it is worth discussing with a healthcare provider.

At White Smiles Family Dentistry in Orem, our dentists offer oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea. We review your health history and symptoms, explain how a mandibular advancement device works, and talk about whether this approach may be a good match for you. Sleep apnea is a medical condition, so we coordinate with your physician as needed, and we use 3D CBCT imaging to better understand your anatomy when it is helpful. Follow-up visits may be recommended to check comfort and fit.
