Sleep Apnea Appliances
OSA Dental Sleep Appliance: A custom-fabricated oral appliance prescribed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The appliance is designed to maintain airway patency during sleep by repositioning the mandible and/or oral structures. Treatment typically requires evaluation, fabrication, fitting, titration, and follow-up by a qualified dental provider.
