Sleep Apnea Appliances

For many patients with sleep-breathing disorders, a dental appliance is a comfortable CPAP alternative, and many find an oral appliance easier to tolerate than CPAP. Dr. Stringham will assess your sleep needs and then take an impression of your teeth to have your custom oral appliance created.

The appliance gently holds the lower jaw and the attached muscular structures, including the tongue, in a comfortable forward position. This ensures the airway remains open during sleep and therefore allows sufficient air exchange and oxygen delivery to your body.

For many, it eliminates or reduces snoring. Your appliance may require adjustments over time and will require ongoing assessments to ensure your airway is functioning in the healthiest way possible.
