Sleep Apnea Treatment in Miami

Dental sleep medicine is a growing specialty in Miami, with dentists offering oral appliance therapy (OAT) as an effective alternative to CPAP for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Custom-fitted mandibular advancement devices can dramatically improve sleep quality and reduce apnea episodes.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works for Sleep Apnea

A custom dental sleep device gently holds the lower jaw in a slightly forward position during sleep, keeping the airway open and preventing the soft tissue collapse that causes snoring and apnea. Devices are custom-fitted to your teeth and adjusted over several follow-up visits.

Is Oral Appliance Therapy Right for You?

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends oral appliances as a first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate OSA and for severe OSA patients who can't tolerate CPAP. Most major insurance plans and Medicare cover custom sleep apnea devices when prescribed following a sleep study.
