Sleep Appliance Therapy
If you wake up exhausted, snore at night, or feel like you’re running on fumes by 3 p.m., the issue may not be “bad sleep.” The root cause of the problem may be how you’re breathing while you sleep.
At Developmental Dentistry, our goal is to uncover the airway issues that disrupt deep, restorative rest. With custom oral appliances, we create space for better breathing so you can finally wake up rested, clear-headed, and present for your day. Custom oral appliances can be a great tool for restoring healthy, restful nights.

What Is Sleep Appliance Therapy?
Sleep appliance therapy involves custom-fitted oral devices that gently reposition your jaw and tongue to maintain an open airway during sleep. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, oral appliances are comfortable, discreet, and highly effective for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.
