Description
An oral appliance for sleep apnea is a custom-fitted device worn in the mouth during sleep. Its purpose is to keep the airway open by repositioning the jaw and/or tongue, preventing the collapse of soft tissues that can block airflow. This treatment serves as an alternative to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, especially for individuals with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The appliance helps improve breathing, reduce snoring, and enhance overall sleep quality.
