Oral appliances are custom-made dental devices that fit over your teeth, similar to a mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. These devices work by:
Repositioning the Jaw: Moving the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open
Supporting the Tongue: Preventing it from collapsing into the airway
Improving Oxygen Flow: Allowing for smoother, uninterrupted breathing throughout the night.
