FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Dental sleep medicine treats snoring and obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliances instead of CPAP machines or surgery. Dentists are uniquely positioned for this work because the airway is shaped by the jaws — anatomy we evaluate and treat every single day.
A custom-fitted appliance worn during sleep repositions the jaw to keep your airway open, preventing the collapses that cause snoring and apnea events. Vivos-type appliances go a step further — gently developing the jaws over time so the airway itself becomes permanently wider.
For many patients an oral appliance is more comfortable, silent and portable — which means it actually gets worn every night. CPAP remains effective, especially for severe cases. The right answer depends on your anatomy and severity; a sleep evaluation tells us which fits you best.
Coverage varies — appliances for diagnosed sleep apnea are sometimes covered under medical rather than dental insurance. We'll help document medical necessity and understand your benefits. Our in-house dental sleep team at Breathing Wellness Orlando guides patients through this exact process every day.
Yes — oral appliance therapy is a recognized, research-supported treatment for snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Success depends on proper fitting and follow-up, which is why treatment starts with a thorough airway evaluation rather than an off-the-shelf device.
Loud snoring, gasping at night, morning headaches, daytime exhaustion and irritability are the classic signs — but the only way to know for certain is an evaluation. Visit our in-house doctors for dental sleep medicine evaluation and treatment at Breathing Wellness Orlando, where sleep and airway consultations are always free.
