What is an oral appliance? Worn only during sleep, an oral appliance fits like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer and usually goes over both the upper and lower teeth.

Extensive medical research has shown that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. *
