Assessment Before an Appliance
Snoring alone does not establish whether sleep apnea is present. A qualified medical professional assesses suspected sleep apnea. Dental findings, jaw comfort, and the medical treatment plan help determine whether an oral appliance is appropriate.
Fit and Adjustment
An appliance is fitted and adjusted to the individual plan. Ask how it should be worn, cleaned, and reviewed. Jaw or tooth discomfort and bite changes are among the concerns to discuss before starting.
Checking the Response
Feeling that snoring has improved is not enough to establish that sleep apnea is controlled. Follow the recommended dental and medical review process. Do not stop prescribed sleep treatment without discussing it with your treating clinician.
