If you have a mild case of sleep apnea or become intolerant to a CPAP machine, Dr. Michael Landry is happy to provide you with a custom oral appliance. This type of sleep disorder occurs when the airway becomes obstructed, causing you to experience pauses in your breathing while you sleep. To help open the airway, our doctor and team offer oral appliances to relax your throat and keep your tongue from rolling back. The result? Safe and soundless sleep to revive your energy for the upcoming day.

Why Choose An Oral Appliance?
An oral appliance is an effective and noninvasive option for treating sleep apnea. Unlike CPAP machines, which use forced air to keep airways open, oral appliances work by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction during sleep. This helps maintain airflow, reducing snoring and apnea episodes. Oral appliances are often preferred for their comfort, portability and ease of use compared to CPAP machines. They are also less intrusive, making them a discreet solution that does not require bulky equipment. Additionally, oral appliances are custom-made, ensuring a proper fit and a more comfortable night’s sleep.
