Sleep apnea dentists can correct obstructive sleep apnea without surgery by using an oral appliance. Oral appliance therapy repositions the lower jaw and tongue keeping the airway open and reducing or eliminating apneic events. The oral appliance is molded to the inside of your mouth and worn at night. The oral appliance may be made adjustable to gradually move the jaw forward.
