How is a sleep appliance different from a CPAP machine?

A CPAP machine delivers pressurized air through a mask to keep the airway open. A sleep appliance is a small, custom-fitted mouthpiece that repositions the jaw instead. Many patients find appliances easier to wear consistently because there is no mask, no tubing, and no machine noise.

Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?

For sleep apnea treatment, yes. A formal sleep study is required to confirm the diagnosis before an oral appliance can be fabricated or billed to medical insurance.

Will insurance cover my sleep appliance?

Oral appliance therapy for diagnosed sleep apnea is frequently covered under medical insurance, not dental insurance. We work with patients to submit to medical insurance and can help verify your benefits before treatment begins.

How long does it take to get used to wearing one?

Most patients adapt within one to two weeks. Initial mild jaw or tooth soreness is normal and typically resolves quickly. Your appliance is also adjustable, so we can modify the jaw position incrementally to find the most comfortable and effective setting for you.

Who is a good candidate for sleep appliance therapy?

Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea are typically the best candidates. CPAP-intolerant patients with more severe apnea may also benefit. A consultation with our team alongside your sleep physician helps determine the right fit for your situation.

Can a sleep appliance help with snoring even without a sleep apnea diagnosis?

Yes. Patients who snore without a formal sleep apnea diagnosis can also benefit from a custom oral appliance. Treatment for snoring alone is typically considered elective, so out-of-pocket costs may apply, but many patients find the improvement in sleep quality well worth it.
