At Sherpa Sleep Solutions, we offer FDA approved, customized oral appliances of the highest quality to ensure we effectively treat your sleep apnea and snoring. All of these devices work by advancing your lower jaw slightly forward and maintaining that position while sleeping. This protruded position of the lower jaw opens up the airway by bringing the previously collapsed tongue forward, away from the back of the throat. An oral appliance can be a life-saving device, especially for those who have been unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for sleep apnea. Many times, oral appliances can also treat severe snoring. Snoring does not have to be linked to sleep apnea and can be a major disturbance to a partner’s sleep.
