What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep, causing:
- Loud snoring
- Gasping or choking at night
- Excessive daytime fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Morning headaches
- Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and even stroke.
Our team can help determine whether you're a candidate for oral appliance therapy and coordinate with your physician or sleep specialist if needed.
Oral Appliance Therapy: A Comfortable Alternative to CPAP
If you’ve tried — and struggled — with a CPAP machine, you’re not alone. Many patients find it hard to tolerate the mask, noise, and maintenance.
That’s why we offer custom oral appliances — small, comfortable devices worn at night that gently reposition your jaw to keep your airway open. These appliances:
- Are quiet, compact, and travel-friendly
- Fit comfortably in your mouth without straps or wires
- Improve breathing and reduce or eliminate snoring
- Can be used alone or in combination with other treatments
We create each appliance to fit your unique bite and jaw structure using digital imaging and modern fabrication techniques. It’s a natural extension of the precision we bring to restorative care and TMJ therapy.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your sleep apnea journey starts with a consultation. We’ll review your medical and sleep history, perform a full oral exam, and determine if you're a candidate for appliance therapy.
We then take digital scans and impressions, which are used to design your custom oral appliance. Once your appliance is ready, we’ll make sure it fits comfortably and provide instructions for nightly use and follow-up.
Patients often see improvements within the first few nights — better sleep, less snoring, and clearer mornings.
“Dr. Tewari suggested an oral appliance after I struggled with CPAP. I’m sleeping better, my energy’s back, and my partner finally gets a quiet night too.”
