Comfortable Oral
Appliance Therapy
A Simple and Practical Solution for Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Oral appliance therapy (OAT) offers a straightforward and comfortable alternative to CPAP machines for managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and reducing snoring. At Integrity Sleep Solution, we provide custom-fitted oral appliances made in such a way that they keep your airway open as you sleep. With an appliance fitted, you will breathe easily and enjoy uninterrupted rest.
Whether you’re struggling with mild to moderate sleep apnea or looking for a solution to persistent snoring, OAT is an effective option that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Who Should Consider Oral Appliance Therapy?
Oral appliance therapy is an excellent choice for individuals who need a less invasive, more comfortable solution to their sleep issues. It’s particularly well-suited for:
Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
OAT is highly effective for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA. It helps to keep the airway open and prevent breathing interruptions during sleep.
Chronic Snorers
If snoring is your primary concern without the presence of apnea, OAT can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring, allowing for a quieter, more restful night for both you and your loved ones.
CPAP Intolerance
Many patients find CPAP machines bulky, noisy, and uncomfortable. OAT provides a simpler, quieter alternative that’s easier to maintain and use consistently.
Made for Your Comfort and Success
Customization Process
We understand that not all patients have the same needs. Our Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is fully customized to solve your specific sleep issues. The process begins with a thorough evaluation, where we take accurate molds or impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted oral appliance.
This ensures that the device fits your mouth accurately for comfort and effectiveness. The appliance’s custom design is crucial as it gently repositions the jaw and tongue, keeping the airway open as you sleep to prevent interruptions that cause sleep apnea and snoring.
Prioritizing Patient Comfort
Our focus is on your comfort throughout the entire OAT process. We know that the success of your treatment depends on how well the appliance fits into your bedtime routine, which is why we encourage your feedback during the fitting process. Dr. Downing will work closely with you to ensure the appliance feels comfortable and functions as it should.
By ensuring that the device is easy to wear and doesn’t disrupt your sleep, we increase your likelihood of using it consistently. This also leads to better treatment outcomes and improved sleep quality.
The Oral Appliance Therapy Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey with oral appliance therapy begins with an initial consultation. The first step is to take our sleep screener, a quick online assessment to help determine if you might be at risk for sleep apnea.
Following this, you can Request a FREE Consultation where we discuss your sleep health. During this no-cost, no-obligation discussion, Dr. Downing will go over your medical history and discuss your symptoms.
If oral appliance therapy (OAT) is a good fit, we’ll proceed by recommending an At-Home Sleep Test. This test allows you to track your sleep patterns in the comfort of your home, avoiding the inconvenience of an overnight stay in a sleep lab. Based on these initial steps, we can accurately determine whether OAT is the right treatment option for your sleep apnea or snoring.
The Oral Appliance Therapy Process
Customization and Fitting
If oral appliance therapy is right for you, we will proceed with the customization process. Using the impressions taken during your initial visit, we craft a custom oral appliance that fits your mouth perfectly.
Once your device is ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment, where Dr. Downing will ensure that the appliance fits comfortably and effectively. During this visit, we’ll make any necessary adjustments to optimize the appliance’s performance, ensuring it provides the best possible results.

Follow-Up and Adjustments
Ongoing care is crucial to the success of your treatment. After fitting your appliance, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits allow us to fine-tune the appliance to ensure it continues to work effectively and comfortably.
If you experience any discomfort or notice changes in your sleep patterns, Dr. Downing will address these issues promptly and make modifications to improve your treatment outcomes. Our commitment to continuous care ensures that your oral appliance therapy remains effective over time, helping you achieve and maintain restful, uninterrupted sleep.
