Oral appliance therapy
A small, custom-fit oral appliance, also called a mandibular advancement device (MAD), is worn during sleep to help keep your airway open. No mask, tubing, or motor.

your questions.
Do I need a sleep apnea diagnosis first?
If you already have a sleep study, bring it with you. If you do not have a diagnosis, our team can help you understand the next step.
Is an oral appliance the right choice for everyone?
No. Your sleep apnea severity, health history, teeth, jaw, and response to treatment all matter. We review these together before recommending care.
Can I have a virtual consultation?
RespAir Sleep offers virtual and in-person consultations. Contact our team to find the right type of visit for your needs.
