Sleep Apnea
in Ashburn, VA
Struggling with CPAP? Our Ashburn dental team offers custom oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, a comfortable, portable, quiet alternative that helps you breathe easier and sleep better without a mask or machine.
What Is Sleep
Apnea Treatment?
Obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of Americans, causing repeated breathing interruptions during sleep that lead to daytime fatigue, morning headaches, high blood pressure, and increased cardiovascular risk. While CPAP is the gold standard, up to 50% of patients struggle with compliance.
Oral appliance therapy is a proven alternative for mild to moderate OSA. Our Ashburn team creates a custom-fitted mandibular advancement device using the iTero scanner, positioning your lower jaw forward during sleep to prevent the airway collapse that causes apnea events. No mask, no machine, no noise.
Are You a
Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for oral appliance therapy if you:
- Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Are unable to tolerate or comply with CPAP therapy
- Snore loudly or wake frequently throughout the night
- Experience excessive daytime sleepiness or morning headaches
- Have been told you stop breathing during sleep by a partner
- Want a quiet, portable, CPAP-free sleep apnea solution
A sleep study is required before treatment. We coordinate with sleep physicians to ensure your care is medically appropriate.
