Do you or a loved one snore loudly, wake up gasping for air, or feel exhausted despite a full night's rest? These could be signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a serious and often overlooked sleep disorder.
At Arcadia Medi-Dental Group, we offer comfortable, custom-fitted sleep apnea devices that help open your airway and restore restful sleep. No masks, no machines, just better sleep. Our advanced digital scanning ensures a perfect fit with minimal hassle, using the latest intraoral scanner technology in modern dentistry.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much during sleep, causing the airway to collapse or become blocked. This leads to paused breathing, often multiple times per hour—sometimes for 10 seconds or more.
Common symptoms include:
Loud, chronic snoring
Waking up gasping or choking
Morning headaches or dry mouth
Daytime fatigue and brain fog
Difficulty concentrating or irritability
Left untreated, OSA can increase the risk of serious health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and even stroke.
An Effective Alternative to CPAP: Oral Appliance Therapy
While CPAP machines are a common treatment, many patients find them uncomfortable or difficult to use consistently. That’s where we come in.
At Arcadia Medi-Dental Group, we provide custom oral appliances that are:

Quiet—no hoses or machines involved
These devices gently reposition your lower jaw and tongue forward, helping keep your airway open throughout the night.

Patient FAQ: Sleep Apnea Devices
Are sleep apnea oral appliances covered by insurance?
Many medical insurance plans cover oral appliance therapy for diagnosed OSA. We’ll help you check your benefits and work with you to make care affordable.
Do these devices really work?
Yes! Many of our patients report better sleep, reduced snoring, and increased energy within just days of using their device.
How long does it take to get my device?
Most devices are ready in 2–3 weeks from the date of your scan.
Do I need a sleep study first?
Yes. A formal diagnosis is typically required before we fabricate an oral appliance. If you haven’t had one, we can refer you to a trusted local provider.
