If you’re struggling with CPAP compliance, a sleep apnea appliance may be a great solution. Oral appliances are custom-made devices that reposition the jaw to help reduce airway obstruction during sleep in appropriately selected patients. They’re quiet, compact, and often more comfortable—especially for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea.

Snoring, gasping and waking unrefreshed are signs the airway is closing at night. We evaluate what’s happening, coordinate a sleep study when needed, then build your plan around the diagnosis — usually without CPAP or surgery.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea
Effective treatment looks at both the oral and airway components of the condition, not CPAP in isolation. TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre of Utah offers evaluation-based, custom options tailored to your case.
They can be connected. TMD and airway function are frequently linked — a misaligned jaw or poor oral posture can restrict the airway and make symptoms more severe for some patients. Addressing TMD alongside sleep apnea may contribute to better outcomes, particularly when oral appliance therapy is part of the plan.
