Better Sleep
Keeping your airway open can mean fewer interruptions through the night and more mornings when you wake up feeling rested.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
in Orange, CA
Struggling with loud snoring or waking up exhausted? Sleep apnea treatment in Orange, CA, uses a custom oral appliance to help keep your airway open so you and your partner can sleep more peacefully. We work with your physician to help you breathe easier and wake up rested.
Is an Oral Appliance Right for Your Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when soft tissue in your throat relaxes and blocks your airway during sleep. Each time this happens, your brain wakes you just enough to start breathing again, often without you noticing, so you can feel tired even after a full night in bed. Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to high blood pressure and other health problems, and only a sleep study ordered by a physician can diagnose it.
A physician diagnoses sleep apnea, and once you have your results, we can make you a custom oral appliance. It holds your lower jaw slightly forward to help keep your airway open, and it's often used for snoring, mild to moderate OSA or people who can't tolerate CPAP.
The Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment
Less Snoring
Many people snore less with a custom oral appliance, and their bed partners are often the very first to notice the difference at night.
CPAP Alternative
An oral appliance works without a mask, hose or machine, and it packs into a small case that's easy to bring when you travel.
The Sleep Apnea Treatment Process
Treatment begins once you have your sleep study results in hand.
Book NowStudy Review
Bring your results, and we will review your study and ask about your snoring, energy and sleep to see if an appliance fits.
Dental Exam
We check your teeth, gums and jaw joints, since an appliance needs healthy teeth to hold and a jaw that moves easily.
Digital Scan
An iTero scan records your teeth and bite in 3D in a few minutes, without messy impression trays, and it's used to make your appliance.
Fitting Visit
We adjust your new appliance until it feels secure and comfortable, then show you how to put it in, take it out and clean it each night.
Fine-Tuning
Follow-up visits fine-tune the fit, and your physician may order another sleep study to confirm the appliance is working.
Our Difference
Comfortable Nightly Alternative
If CPAP hasn't worked well for you, a custom oral appliance may be a more comfortable nightly option that your physician can approve.
Custom-Fit Oral Appliances
Your appliance is made from a detailed iTero scan of your teeth and bite, so it fits securely and comfortably night after night.
Oral-Systemic Health Focus
Our dentist is a member of the American Academy of Oral & Systemic Health, a group focused on how your mouth affects your body.
Coordinated With Your Physician
We work from your physician's diagnosis and sleep study, and we can keep your physician updated as your appliance is adjusted over time.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us at (714) 282-2525 to speak with our team.
Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?
Yes, you'll need a sleep study ordered by your physician first. It confirms the diagnosis and shows how severe the apnea is, which helps guide treatment. If you snore but haven't been tested, ask your physician about a study, since many people can do one at home in their own bed.
Can an oral appliance replace my CPAP?
For some people it can, depending on the diagnosis. Physicians usually recommend CPAP first, especially for severe sleep apnea. An oral appliance may suit mild to moderate OSA or people who can't tolerate CPAP, and your physician and our team can help you weigh the options.
Does snoring mean I have sleep apnea?
Snoring and sleep apnea often show up together, but one doesn't always mean the other. Many people snore without having sleep apnea, and some people with apnea barely snore at all. Gasping at night, morning headaches and daytime sleepiness are stronger warning signs, and only a sleep study can confirm the diagnosis. An appliance that holds your jaw slightly forward helps many people snore less, though results vary.
Will medical or dental insurance pay for my appliance?
It may, though coverage often comes through medical insurance instead of dental. What you pay depends on your diagnosis and your plans. On the dental side, our office is in network for Delta Dental, Tricare and Connection Dental, and our Dental Insurance page explains more.
Will my jaw feel sore in the morning?
You might notice some soreness at first. Some people have mild jaw stiffness or tender teeth for the first few weeks, and it usually eases as they get used to the appliance. If the soreness lingers, we can adjust the fit.
