Yes. Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical diagnosis and requires appropriate sleep testing and diagnosis by a qualified medical provider before beginning oral appliance therapy.If you already have a physician or sleep specialist, we can coordinate with them. If you still need testing, we can connect you with an independent sleep-medicine provider who can arrange convenient home testing and physician interpretation when appropriate.

Oral appliance therapy is an established treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and can be very effective for appropriately selected patients. Individual response varies, which is why adjustment and follow-up testing are important.

Many patients explore oral appliance therapy because CPAP hasn't worked well for them or doesn't fit comfortably into their lives. We'll review your diagnosis, sleep study, and individual needs to determine whether oral appliance therapy is appropriate for you.

Follow-up testing helps determine how effectively your appliance is controlling your sleep apnea. We'll coordinate the appropriate follow-up once your appliance has been adjusted.

Many medical insurance plans, including Medicare, provide coverage for oral appliance therapy when medical criteria are met. Coverage varies by plan, and our team will help you make the most of your available benefits.

Your appliance is custom-made and gradually adjusted with comfort in mind. It can take a little time to get used to wearing it, and we'll work with you to address fit or comfort concerns along the way.
