How do
they work? Oral
appliances work non-surgically to open the airway during sleep
by realigning the tongue and jaw in relation to the head.
Their role is to prevent the snoring and/or obstructive apnea
during sleep and they must be worn each night to produce the
desired effect. More than 60 types of oral appliances have
been marketed but two specific types have been found to be
most effective dependent on each specific airway and mouth
as evaluated by the dentist/orthodontist.
