Can an oral appliance cure sleep apnea?

Oral appliances are not a cure. For appropriate patients they can reduce events and improve sleep quality. Verification by a sleep physician is part of responsible care.

Do I still need to see a sleep doctor?

Yes. Diagnosis and verification of treatment effectiveness are the role of a sleep physician. We coordinate with them throughout.

Is it covered by medical insurance?

Often yes, when prescribed for a diagnosed sleep disorder. Coverage varies — we'll help you understand the path.
