If snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, or restless nights are disrupting your life, oral appliance therapy may be a simple and comfortable solution. At Zapzzz Sleep Clinic in Riverside, we provide custom oral appliance therapy designed to support airway stability, reduce snoring, and promote healthier sleep, without bulky equipment.
With free consultations and advanced digital scanning, we create personalized dental sleep solutions that fit naturally into your routine.
An oral appliance is a custom-made dental device worn during sleep that gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to help keep the airway open. This forward positioning supports consistent breathing throughout the night and helps reduce airway collapse associated with sleep-disordered breathing.
Oral appliances are commonly used to manage mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, chronic snoring, and related breathing concerns.
Many people live with sleep apnea for years without realizing it. Common symptoms may include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, morning headaches, jaw or facial tension, daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and waking with a dry mouth or sore throat.
If these symptoms feel familiar, a professional sleep evaluation can provide helpful clarity.
Oral appliance therapy may be suitable for patients who snore loudly, have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, feel fatigued despite a full night’s sleep, or experience jaw tension or teeth grinding related to airway issues.
Because each appliance is custom-designed, this therapy is comfortable, discreet, and well tolerated by many patients.
Patients often choose oral appliances because they are compact, quiet, portable, and easy to use. There are no external components, just a custom dental device designed specifically for your bite.
When properly fitted and adjusted, oral appliances can improve sleep quality, reduce snoring, and help patients wake feeling more rested and refreshed.
Your care at Zapzzz begins with a free consultation, where we assess sleep concerns, jaw alignment, and airway structure using advanced digital scanning technology.
If oral appliance therapy is recommended, we design a custom device tailored to your bite and comfort. Careful fitting, adjustment, and follow-up help ensure effectiveness and long-term stability.
Our approach emphasizes precision, comfort, and consistent results.
For patients with TMJ disorders, jaw tension, or teeth grinding, oral appliances may help reduce strain on the jaw and surrounding muscles.
When appropriate, supportive therapies such as Botox may be recommended to help relieve muscle tension, headaches, and clenching.
