Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance in Novi MI | The Sleep Apnea Center of Novi

Treatment Is Simple & Stress-Free With an Oral Appliance

Sleep apnea, which occurs when your breathing frequently pauses during sleep, is a dangerous condition that should never go untreated. It increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and more. That’s what you’re risking whenever you stop your sleep apnea treatment or forgo treatment entirely.

While the CPAP machine is a commonly prescribed treatment for sleep apnea, many patients find it difficult to incorporate into their sleep routines and simply stop using it. Instead of a CPAP, which keeps your airway clear with a stream of air, many patients benefit from a custom-made oral appliance.

The oral appliance is small and fits precisely over your upper and lower teeth to slightly reposition your lower jaw and tongue, keeping your airway open while you sleep. It is a simple and minimally invasive way to treat the most common form of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike a CPAP, you won’t have to worry about:

Batteries or electricity to power a machine
A restrictive mask and tubing
Distilled water to keep it clean
Noise that can disturb you or your bed partner

Unlike many practices, we offer several different kinds of oral appliances to ensure you’ll be able to find the one that works best for your situation. In fact, Dr. Ross has tried and worn the oral appliances he recommends to his patients.

A sleep apnea oral appliance in Novi can improve your sleep and reduce your risk of serious medical issues. Your snoring, restless sleep, and even daytime fatigue can all go away when you call 248-264-3922 today to schedule your free consultation.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance

How much does a sleep apnea oral appliance cost?

We offer more than a half dozen oral appliance options at The Sleep Apnea Center of Novi. That’s because we want to ensure you can find the oral appliance that will work best for you. Many medical insurances cover at least part of treatment when the symptoms, sleep test, and certified sleep physicians indicate it’s needed. Our personal medical biller will evaluate your coverage and give you a good idea of costs after your baseline sleep test. We will review these costs and coverage with you so you fully understand your portion before we move forward with treatment.

How long does a sleep apnea oral appliance last?

Your custom-made oral appliance is very strong and comes with a three-year warranty. Dr. Ross wears an oral appliance for his own sleep apnea and has tried all the oral appliances he recommends to our patients. He has had oral appliances that have lasted five, six, and seven years and one that lasted just four years due to some major dental work that changed the fit. Insurances, both private and Medicare, allow for a new sleep apnea oral appliance every three to five years. With the proper care and usage, you will get many years of health benefits from your oral appliance.

What type of oral appliance is right for my sleep apnea treatment?

Every case of sleep apnea is different. An oral appliance that works well for another may not work as well for you. That’s why it’s important to work with a medical practitioner who has extensive experience in treating sleep apnea and understands the differences between the different types of oral appliances. Dr. Ross has successfully treated apnea patients since 2010. He keeps his knowledge up-to-date through membership in several sleep medicine associations.
