Sleep Apnea

OAT (Oral Appliance Therapy)

Oral Appliance Therapy is an Oral Sleep Apnea Appliance consisting of two dental plates, which look similar to a sports mouth guard.

This appliance is custom made to fit your mouth and should be worn at night while you are asleep.

How does OAT work?

Using different mechanics the appliance can be gradually adjusted to bring your lower jaw forward, opening up your airway.

Treatment is painless and non-invasive. OAT therapy is reversible and can be used in conjuction with other treatment modalities.

Is the appliance comfortable?

The OAT appliance allows you to open and close your mouth, which means you can talk or drink with the appliance in position.

Because it is custom made to fit your mouth, you will find the appliance to be surprisingly comfortable and discreet. You will find that you’re used to wearing the device after about a week.

Is Oral Alliance Therapy the right treatment for me?

If you suffer from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea the OAT should benefit you. If your OSA is classified as severe and you cannot tolerate other recommended treatments, speak to Drs.
