Sleep Apnea

If you snore loudly, wake up tired, or have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, you’re not alone—and you may not need a CPAP machine to get relief. At Peak Prosthodontics in Lethbridge, we offer an effective alternative: custom-fit oral appliances designed by a sleep apnea dentist.

These devices are discreet, comfortable, and designed to help you breathe easier and sleep more soundly—all without bulky equipment or noisy machines.

Custom Oral Appliances for Better Sleep Without a CPAP

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, causing repeated pauses in breathing. It can lead to serious health risks if left untreated, including:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Poor concentration and memory
  • Mood disorders

If you’ve been told you snore or stop breathing during the night, a sleep study may confirm OSA—and we can help with the next step.

What Is a Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance?

Sometimes called a mouth guard for sleep apnea, this custom-fit device gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. It's a proven, non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy for many patients.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:

  • Comfortable, quiet, and easy to wear
  • Small and portable—ideal for travel
  • No hoses, masks, or electricity required
  • Effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
  • Often covered by medical insurance

Sleep Apnea Treatment Without CPAP

Step 1: Diagnosis & Referral
We work in partnership with local physicians and sleep clinics. If you haven’t yet had a sleep study, we’ll guide you through the process.

Step 2: Fitting & Fabrication
Once diagnosed, we take digital impressions and design a custom oral appliance tailored to your bite and airway needs.

Step 3: Follow-Up & Adjustments
We fine-tune the fit, assess results, and make sure the appliance is helping you sleep better and feel more rested.
