Oral Appliances
What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?
Oral appliance therapy is used to treat mild to moderate snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Similar in shape to athletic mouthguards, these appliances advance the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. By preventing soft tissues in the throat and mouth from collapsing into the airway, they reduce snoring and improve breathing. Custom-made by our New Port Richey, FL dentist, these appliances offer a comfortable alternative to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy.
The Process of Oral Appliance Therapy
When starting oral appliance therapy, we first take impressions of your upper and lower teeth. Dr. Ifaz then collaborates with a specialized lab to create high-quality mouthguards designed for snoring and sleep apnea. After your appliance is made, we test its fit in our office and may perform home sleep studies to make any necessary adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit for your needs.
