SLEEP DENTISTRY
AT HOME SLEEP TESTING
Traditionally, a patient would have to go to a special lab to complete a sleep test. At-home sleep tests consists of a small, easy-to-use device, reducing disruptions while you sleep. Each device has minimal sensors on it, which monitor your sleep while measuring specific vitals used to diagnosis Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and its severity by a board certified Sleep Physician.

To access the screener you will need to register in our patient portal, then you will be able to access and complete the screener.
ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY
Oral Appliance Therapy is the main alternative to CPAP therapy for patients that have been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by a sleep physician, It is our first line of defense against mild to moderate OSA and can also be used in combination therapy to treat severe OSA or for those that have failed or cannot tolerate CPAP.
These custom made Oral Appliances keep the airway open by slightly moving the lower jaw to a down and forward position, because of this they are referred to as Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD). They are slowly adjusted over time to keep the tongue from blocking the airway while also remaining comfortable for patients to wear. These appliances fit over the teeth just like an athletic mouthguard and are worn only to bed.
Sleep Better Solutions customizes every appliance and each patients treatment plan, depending on the severity and type of sleep apnea conditions they experiencing. All of our appliances are FDA Approved.
ADVANTAGES OF ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY
Simple to Use: No plug, no machine, no cleaning a variety of tubes. Simply put it in your mouth when you go to bed, that’s it!
Comfortable: Specifically made for each patient to help you enjoy a quality night’s rest. Compared to the bulky mask of a CPAP machine, the majority of patients find oral appliance therapy to be significantly more comfortable.
Quiet: Oral appliances make no noise, unlike a CPAP. You and your partner can sleep undisturbed.
Travel Ready: An oral appliance is easy to bring along in anyone’s luggage as it is small enough to fit in your pocket. Unlike a CPAP, with its cumbersome tubing and large size, it can be difficult to take on a trip, causing most patients to leave their CPAP at home. However, those with sleep apnea who travel without their CPAP are putting themselves at risk.
