Sleep Oral Appliance Therapy & Snore Guard

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of this condition, and is when there is an obstruction in the upper airway.

Oral Appliance Therapy

An oral appliance may be recommended as an effective treatment option for patients who suffer from snoring or with mild to moderate OSA. Oral appliance therapy involves the selection, fitting and use of a specially designed oral appliance. This small plastic device fits in the mouth during sleep like an orthodontic retainer and helps prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back throat, keeping the airway open during sleep and promoting adequate air intake.

Most Oral appliances are covered by medical insurance, and we will help you contact your insurance and report you the coverage.

In-Home Sleep Apnea Study

In most cases to diagnose OSA a patient can opt for an insurance-paid in-home sleep apnea study. At Weston Dental Care we partnered with MySleepTest.com network to provide the best treatment options.

Oral Appliance Coverage by Medical Insurance

Most oral appliances for OSA are covered by your MEDICAL insurance. Since insurance plans vary widely we work with all our patients to help them obtain reimbursement from their insurance carrier to the maximum allowed by their plan.
