Sleep Apnea Appliances in Key Largo
If loud snoring or pauses in breathing are disrupting your sleep, or your partner’s, sleep apnea may be the cause. At Dentistry On The Reef, we offer custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep your airway open at night. Comfortable, convenient, and effective, these devices help you breathe easier, sleep better, and wake up refreshed.
What Are Sleep Apnea Appliances?
Sleep apnea appliances are small, custom-made oral devices worn while you sleep. They work by adjusting the position of your lower jaw and tongue to prevent airway collapse, reducing snoring and pauses in breathing. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, these appliances are quiet, portable, and easy to use, making them a great solution for many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
