A CPAP Alternative That
Actually Gets Worn.

Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is an FDA-approved treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Instead of a bulky CPAP machine, you wear a custom-fitted mandibular advancement device (MAD) while you sleep — a small, comfortable oral appliance that gently repositions the lower jaw forward, keeping the airway open throughout the night.

Studies show that compliance with oral appliance therapy far exceeds CPAP compliance, making it a more effective real-world solution for many patients. Our orthodontists work collaboratively with sleep physicians to ensure your appliance is optimally calibrated and monitored.

  • Custom-fitted mandibular advancement device
  • FDA-approved for mild to moderate OSA
  • Higher compliance than CPAP therapy
  • Silent, portable, and travel-friendly
  • Coordinated care with your sleep physician

Jaw Pain, Clicking & Headaches
Don't Have to Be Your Normal.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles that control chewing and jaw movement. Symptoms range from mild clicking and occasional soreness to debilitating jaw pain, chronic headaches, and difficulty opening the mouth fully.

Our approach to TMJ treatment is conservative first. We begin with a thorough bite evaluation and may prescribe a custom occlusal splint (night guard), bite equilibration, or orthodontic correction to reduce joint stress and restore comfortable function. We avoid irreversible interventions wherever possible.

  • Comprehensive bite and jaw joint evaluation
  • Custom occlusal splints and night guards
  • Bite equilibration for reducing joint stress
  • Orthodontic correction as a long-term solution
  • Conservative, reversible approach first
