A non-invasive alternative to CPAP
If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea but can’t tolerate a CPAP machine, or you suspect sleep apnea but haven’t been tested, there’s another path. As Montrose sleep apnea dentists, we treat obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliances that hold your airway open while you sleep.
This isn’t a workaround. Oral appliance therapy is recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea, and as an effective option for severe cases where CPAP isn’t working.
Sleep apnea affects more than your sleep
When you stop breathing dozens or hundreds of times a night, your body never gets the deep, restorative sleep it needs. Over time, untreated sleep apnea is linked to:
- High blood pressure and heart disease
- Stroke and atrial fibrillation
- Worsening type 2 diabetes
- Daytime fatigue and brain fog
- Mood changes and reduced quality of life
That’s why our Montrose sleep apnea dentists take sleep apnea seriously, offering whole-body dental care that helps address its impact on your breathing, rest, and overall wellness.
Signs your sleep may be affected
You may benefit from a sleep apnea evaluation if you:
- Snore loudly and consistently
- Wake up gasping or choking
- Feel exhausted despite a full night of sleep
- Have morning headaches
- Notice mood changes, brain fog, or difficulty focusing
How oral appliance therapy works
Custom Fitting
We take a digital scan of your mouth and design an appliance specifically for your bite, no waiting weeks for a generic device.
Gentle Jaw Repositioning
The appliance holds your lower jaw slightly forward during sleep, which keeps the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing onto your airway.
Progressive Adjustment
Over the first few weeks, we adjust the positioning to find the setting that works best for your sleep, and we follow up to confirm with a sleep test that the appliance is doing its job.
Coordination with Sleep Physicians
If you don’t have a sleep apnea diagnosis yet, we’ll connect you with a sleep physician for a home sleep study. We collaborate closely with your medical team throughout your care.
