What to Expect from Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances
Sleep apnea treatment from Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA uses what is referred to as oral appliance therapy (OAT), which may be quite an effective therapy for sleep apnea. A sleep apnea oral appliance, similar to a mouth guard, is a customized device that fits in your mouth at night. The main difference is that rather than protecting your teeth from harm, it gently pulls the jaw into a forward position to keep your airway open. Dr. Gardy will work with you to be sure that you receive the most suitable one for you. She may conduct an assessment of your teeth, jaw, tongue, and airway. You'll also have oral x-rays performed so that she can take detailed impressions of your teeth for your oral appliance.

What is the difference between a CPAP machine and an oral appliance for sleep apnea?
While CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines and sleep apnea oral appliances are both treatment options for sleep apnea, they function differently. A CPAP machine delivers pressurized air through a mask, maintaining a constant flow of air to keep the airway open during sleep. On the other hand, a sleep apnea oral appliance is a device similar to a mouthguard and works by repositioning the jaw or tongue to help keep the airway open during sleep. Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA will work with you to help you decide if an oral appliance for sleep apnea is suitable for you.
