SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT

Sleep Apnea Treatment with Oral Appliances in Langhorne, PA

Why Sleep Apnea Treatment Matters

If you wake up tired, gasp or choke during sleep, snore loudly, or struggle with daytime fatigue—these are not just annoyances. They could be signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious condition that disrupts breathing and sleep quality every night. Untreated, sleep apnea has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, memory trouble, mood changes, and greater health risks.

Breathe Better

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works

It simply moves your lower jaw and tongue forward while you sleep, allowing air to flow freely and naturally.

1

Initial Evaluation: We review your sleep history, snoring, and daytime fatigue, and coordinate with your physician or sleep specialist who diagnoses your condition and prescribes oral appliance therapy for OSA.

2

Dental & Airway Assessment: We examine your oral anatomy, jaw position, and airway structure to determine whether you are a candidate for oral appliance therapy.

3

Custom Fabrication: A precise digital scan or impression of your teeth and bite is taken and sent to a specialized laboratory for custom device creation.

4

Fitting & Adjustment: Once your appliance arrives, we fit and fine-tune it to your jaw and sleeping habits. After a brief adjustment period, most patients experience improved breathing and sleep quality.

5

Ongoing Monitoring: We track your progress, perform adjustments as needed, and coordinate with your sleep physician to ensure long-term success.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works

IT SIMPLY MOVES YOUR LOWER JAW AND TONGUE FORWARD WHILE YOU SLEEP SO AIR CAN FLOW BETTER

Step-by-Step

Initial Evaluation – We review your sleep history, snoring, daytime fatigue and collaborate with your physician or sleep specialist (they test and diagnose your condition and write a script for an oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea)
Dental & Airway Assessment – We examine your oral anatomy, jaw position, airway anatomy and determine whether you’re a candidate for an oral appliance.
Custom Fabrication – A precise impression or digital scan of your teeth and bite is taken and sent to a specialized lab for custom device creation.
Fitting & Adjustment – Once the appliance arrives, we fit and fine-tune it to your jaw and sleeping habit. After a brief adaptation phase (usually a few weeks) you’ll benefit from improved breathing and sleep.
Ongoing Monitoring – We track your progress, perform adjustments, and coordinate with your sleep physician if needed. This ensures long-term success.

Typical cost for custom devices ranges from $3,000 – $7,500 depending on complexity.

Insurance eligibility varies based on diagnosis, documentation, and plan coverage.

Medicare coverage may apply when criteria for obstructive sleep apnea are met.
