Understanding Sleep Apnea Treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition in which the airway repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep. Common signs can include loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, gasping, morning headaches, dry mouth, and daytime sleepiness. Only a qualified medical provider can diagnose sleep apnea through the appropriate assessment or sleep testing.
Oral-appliance therapy may be considered for certain adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or for some patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, based on medical guidance. Adequate teeth and periodontal support, jaw function, and ability to use the device are important.
What We Evaluate
- Dental evaluation for oral-appliance suitability
- Custom appliance design and fitting
- Assessment of teeth, gums, jaw, and bite
- Adjustment visits to improve fit and positioning
- Monitoring for dental or jaw side effects
- Coordination with the diagnosing medical provider

What to Expect
After medical diagnosis and referral or coordination, we evaluate oral health and take digital records for a custom appliance. Follow-up visits adjust fit and jaw position. Medical follow-up or sleep testing may be needed to assess treatment effectiveness.
Recommendations are based on an in-person examination and your individual circumstances. Everly Dental does not use a one-size-fits-all plan, and results, timing, comfort, and maintenance needs vary by patient.
