Comfortable Oral Appliances for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
A quiet, effective alternative to CPAP—designed for better sleep and breathing.
If you snore heavily or struggle with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a custom oral appliance could change your life. At Buchanan Dentistry, Dr. Charles Buchanan offers comfortable, physician-approved oral devices that reposition your jaw during sleep to keep your airway open—helping you breathe easier, snore less, and wake up refreshed.
These devices are a popular CPAP alternative for patients who can’t tolerate masks, hoses, or noisy machines.
How Oral Appliances Work
Custom-fitted like a mouthguard, oral appliances gently shift the lower jaw forward to prevent airway collapse during sleep. This allows for normal airflow and reduces snoring, gasping, or waking episodes caused by obstructed breathing.
