Oral Appliance Therapy

Oral appliance therapy uses dental appliances to treat the symptoms of sleep apnea. These devices are custom-built to fit an individual’s mouth and meet their anatomical needs. Oral appliances work by gently repositioning the lower jaw, which opens the airways and prevents the tongue and soft palate from flopping back and collapsing the airway. This treatment effectively treats both OSA and snoring and provides an effective alternative to CPAP.

Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs)

MADs are the most widely used mouth device to treat sleep apnea. MADs look like mouthguards but slowly and delicately shift the lower jaw forward. These devices use dental sleep medicine (DSM), a field of medicine that pairs dental expertise with sleep treatments. The root causes of most cases of sleep apnea stem from an inability of the airway to function correctly, a diagnosis that can be treated with oral appliances.

We use MADs to treat sleep apnea at the Michigan Sleep Wellness.
