Sleep apnea is a dangerous sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, with your airway possibly closing during this process and potentially becoming life-threatening if left untreated. If any of the following symptoms sound familiar to you, sleep apnea could be to blame:
OAT is an effective, non-invasive solution for treating both snoring and OSA that fits easily into everyday life. Resembling an orthodontic retainer, its design supports jaw movement forward to keep upper airways open thereby preventing sleep apnea and snoring.
Dr. Marconi is certified in OAT and can create a custom-fitted oral appliance based on impressions or models of your mouth. Patients find the treatment comfortable, quiet, portable, convenient for travel and easy to keep clean.
Treating snoring and sleep apnea with OAT can transform your quality of life, improving sleep quality, increasing alertness, and revitalizing health. Your symptoms as well as quality of life may significantly improve with ongoing commitment to treatment.
Gentle, Custom Care for Snoring and Sleep Apnea with Oral Appliance Therapy
We start by reviewing your medical history, snoring patterns, daytime sleepiness, and related symptoms like morning headaches, TMJ soreness, reflux, or difficulty concentrating. When needed, we coordinate a sleep study to confirm if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is present and how severe it is.
If sleep apnea or primary snoring is diagnosed, we discuss non-invasive options such as Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). We explain how advancing the jaw can help keep your airway open at night and which type of custom appliance is best suited to your bite, jaw position, and lifestyle.
Dr. Marconi takes precise impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create a custom-fitted oral appliance that looks similar to a retainer. Once it’s ready, we adjust it chairside to ensure it’s comfortable, secure, and easy to wear consistently while you sleep.
We schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune the appliance, monitor changes in snoring, sleep quality, energy levels, and TMJ symptoms, and make sure the therapy is working as intended. With ongoing use and adjustments, many patients experience deeper sleep, better focus, and a noticeable improvement in overall quality of life.
