Helping You Sleep Better, Breathe Easier, and Wake Refreshed
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, often due to airway obstruction. This can lead to loud snoring, poor sleep quality, fatigue, and long-term health risks if left untreated.
At Lifetime Smiles, we provide custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. Our goal is to help you breathe better and sleep more peacefully with a solution that fits comfortably into your lifestyle.

A Comfortable Option for Managing Mild to Moderate Sleep Apnea
Oral appliance therapy is often recommended for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or for those who snore heavily and want to improve their sleep and overall health.
It may also be a good solution if you find a CPAP machine uncomfortable, noisy, or difficult to use consistently. After diagnosis from a sleep physician, we work with you to create a dental device tailored to your bite, breathing pattern, and sleep position to keep your airway clear and reduce nighttime disruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your path to a healthier smile starts with clarity. Find the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
What is obstructive sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. This can lead to fatigue, snoring, and other health issues if left untreated.
How does a dental appliance help with sleep apnea?
A custom oral appliance gently moves your lower jaw forward during sleep, helping to keep your airway open and reduce breathing interruptions.
Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?
Yes. A sleep study and diagnosis from a physician are required to determine if oral appliance therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Is an oral appliance more comfortable than a CPAP?
Many patients find oral appliances easier to use, less bulky, and more comfortable than a CPAP machine, especially for travel or long-term use.
Can a dentist treat sleep apnea directly?
Dentists work in partnership with your physician. We fabricate and adjust the oral appliance based on your diagnosis and coordinate ongoing care as needed.
