HOW WE CAN HELP
If you've been told you have sleep apnea but struggle to use a CPAP — or if your partner tells you that you snore — an oral sleep appliance might be the answer. At Briarwood Dental, we fit custom devices that work while you sleep, repositioning your jaw just enough to keep your airway open. They're small, comfortable, easy to travel with, and for many patients, just as effective as CPAP.

Effective, mask-free option for mild to moderate OSA
Understanding the details — everything you need to know about oral sleep appliances
Oral sleep appliances — also called mandibular advancement devices (MADs) or mandibular repositioning devices (MRDs) — work by gently advancing the lower jaw forward during sleep. This movement keeps the airway open, preventing the collapse that causes snoring and sleep apnea events.
Oral appliances are most effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring. They are also an excellent option for patients with severe OSA who are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy.
Ideal candidates
Mild to moderate OSA · CPAP intolerant patients · Primary snorers · Those seeking a portable solution · Patients wanting a non-surgical option
We'll evaluate your situation and fit an appliance that works for you.
