Frequently Asked Question
Is oral appliance therapy painful?
Oral appliances are custom-made using detailed impressions of your mouth, which allows them to fit comfortably. Most patients adjust quickly and find them easy to wear through the night.
How soon can I expect improvement in my sleep?
Some patients notice reduced snoring and improved sleep within the first few nights, while others experience gradual improvement over time as the appliance is adjusted for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Is a sleep study necessary before starting treatment?
A sleep study helps determine the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and guides treatment decisions. If you already have a report, we can review it and align dental therapy accordingly.
Can oral appliance therapy be used along with CPAP?
Yes. In certain cases, dental sleep therapy is used alongside CPAP or as an alternative, depending on individual needs and medical advice.
Does insurance cover oral appliance therapy?
Coverage varies between insurance providers. It is best to confirm directly with your insurer regarding benefits related to sleep apnea and dental appliances.
