Did you know that properly trained dentists treat snoring and sleep apnea?

Treatment choices for Sleep Disordered Breathing include positive airway pressure (CPAP and BiPAP) and, for those who can’t tolerate these methods, oral appliances. That’s right – properly fitted custom dental appliances, made by dentists with specific training in Dental Sleep Medicine, can gently, comfortably and precisely position your jaw to alleviate snoring and mild-to-moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
