Our orthotic appliances are designed to realign the jaw and/or tongue in relation to the airway. They prevent sleep apnea or snoring from occurring during sleep by establishing an open airway and allowing normal air flow. Your device is comfortably worn each night to produce the desired effect.

Our orthotic appliances are the most comfortable treatment for sleep apnea and snoring. This custom fit appliance is simple and easy to use. No awkward mask or painful surgery.
