Oral Appliance: Gentle Sleep Apnea Solution in Marietta
For individuals struggling with sleep-disrupting snoring or fatigue caused by obstructive sleep apnea, relief may be simpler and more comfortable than you think. At Modern Dental Center, Dr. Marianna Kovitch offers a non-invasive approach through oral appliance therapy, an effective, gentle alternative to traditional CPAP machines. Patients across Marietta and surrounding areas are finding restful sleep again with customized care rooted in trust, expertise, and comfort-first dentistry.
What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?
Oral appliance therapy is a proven treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring that works by repositioning your jaw or tongue to maintain an open airway throughout the night. These custom-fitted devices are worn like a mouthguard during sleep and are ideal for patients seeking a more compact and less intrusive alternative to CPAP therapy.
Designed and adjusted by Dr. Kovitch, a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, each oral appliance is crafted for your unique anatomy and sleep patterns. That means better results with less disruption to your lifestyle. Benefits include:
- Comfortable, discreet design that fits easily in your nightly routine
- No hoses, no masks, no noise, ideal for partners and light sleepers
- Portable for travel with minimal maintenance
- Custom-tailored to your bite for improved effectiveness over generic devices
How Oral Appliances Help Treat Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when soft tissues in the throat collapse during sleep, blocking the airway and interrupting normal breathing. This can lead to daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and serious long-term health risks like high blood pressure and heart disease.
Oral appliances work by:
- Gently shifting the lower jaw forward to prevent airway collapse
- Stabilizing the tongue and soft tissues to improve airflow
- Promoting oxygen flow throughout the night for restorative sleep
Because these devices are non-invasive and comfortable, many patients find them easier to commit to long-term compared to CPAP therapy. Under the expert care of Dr. Kovitch, ongoing follow-ups ensure every patient at Modern Dental Center receives ongoing, precise adjustments for optimal results.
