Sleep apnea and snoring treatment

Oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A custom-fit oral sleep appliance can improve your sleep, restore your alertness and revitalize your health.

Worn only during sleep, an oral appliance fits like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer. It supports the jaw in a forward position to help maintain an open upper airway. Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Oral appliances are customized using physical impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab where the appliance is made.

Once your oral appliance is ready, Dr. Mortazavi will adjust the appliance to maximize its comfort and effectiveness. You also will learn how to clean the oral appliance and maintain it.

Treating snoring or obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy can help you feel like a new person. You will find that your symptoms, and your quality of life, can improve dramatically when you remain committed to your treatment and use it nightly. It is likely that you will sleep better, have more energy and feel sharper throughout the day. You may find that your bed partner begins to sleep better, too!

Treating sleep apnea promotes a healthier heart, body and mind. With Dr. Mortazavi’s help, you can improve your sleep and your health!
