Rest Easy: How Custom Oral Appliances Improve Sleep and Health

Oral Appliances

Oral appliances are custom-fitted devices designed to address obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring by improving airflow during sleep. These appliances gently reposition the lower jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction, promoting smoother breathing and better rest. Made from durable and lightweight materials, oral appliances are comfortable and easy to wear, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP machines. This solution effectively manages mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring-related issues.

Oral appliances are ideal for individuals seeking a simple, portable solution for sleep-related breathing problems. They are especially beneficial for patients who find other treatments, such as CPAP therapy, uncomfortable or impractical. Results are typically noticeable within a few nights to a few weeks of consistent use, and their effectiveness lasts as long as the appliance is used regularly. If you’re ready to experience better sleep and improved health, schedule a consultation with Foothill Smiles in Foothill Ranch today.
