An oral appliance is a device that works in your mouth during sleep. It looks a lot like an orthodontic retainer or a sports mouth guard, although the technology behind oral appliances is much more advanced. Oral appliances are available from some dental offices, but most do not offer devices that are customized for each patient's specifications. The team at Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine recognizes that not everyone has the same set of needs (or the same anatomy) and that offering a range of options is a better way to help you find the right fit for each patient. How can you get an oral appliance? 1. Talk with your primary care physician, ear nose and throat doctor, pulmonologist, or any doctor with whom you are discussing your lack of sleep.2. If you decide that oral appliance therapy is the best option for you, then your primary care doctor will write a prescription for you to seek treatment at Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine3.
