What Our Patients Say

Sleep Apnea Treatment You Can Trust

Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Untreated, it raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and daytime accidents — and it leaves you exhausted no matter how many hours you sleep.

Louis B. Sachs D.D.S. provides custom oral appliance therapy as a comfortable alternative to CPAP for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The appliance fits in a pocket and works silently — no mask, no hose, no machine.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works

An oral appliance is a custom-fitted device that looks like a sports mouthguard. Worn during sleep, it gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue forward, keeping the airway open and preventing apnea events and snoring.

  • Small, portable, and easy to travel with
  • Silent — no mask, no machine, no tubing
  • No power required
  • Higher compliance than CPAP in many studies
  • Custom-fit to your bite for comfort
Oral appliance therapy is approved by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea

Many people with sleep apnea do not know they have it. Common signs include:

  • Loud snoring or gasping during sleep (often reported by a partner)
  • Waking with dry mouth, sore throat, or headache
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness regardless of hours slept
  • Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, or irritability
  • Waking repeatedly during the night
If any of these sound familiar, talk with your physician about a sleep study.

Sleep Apnea Treatment FAQs

Yes. Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine provide oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. The treatment is approved by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

For mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances are comparable to CPAP in effectiveness for many patients — and often achieve better compliance because patients actually wear them.

Many medical insurance plans, including Medicare, cover oral appliance therapy when prescribed and supported by a sleep study. Contact your insurance provider for coverage specifics on your plan.

Yes — a sleep study is required to diagnose sleep apnea and determine severity. Your primary care physician can order one.

Most patients adapt within 1–3 weeks. Initial jaw soreness or increased saliva is normal and resolves quickly. We adjust for fit and comfort along the way.

Loud snoring, gasping during sleep, dry mouth or headaches on waking, daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. If a partner has noticed you stop breathing during sleep, see a physician promptly.
