The Effective Alternative to CPAP Therapy:

Mandibular Repositioning Appliances (MRA’s) are oral appliances that treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. They are small devices, worn in the mouth, similar to orthodontic retainers or sports mouth-guards. MRA’s are worn during sleep to prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat so that the airway remains open during sleep. The appliances promote adequate air intake and help to provide normal sleep in people who snore.

Do you feel tired during the day even though you seemed to sleep through the night? Is your partner about ready to throw you out of bed because you are keeping them awake?

With a custom fitted appliance, Dr. Lovan can help you and everyone else in your house get a restful night’s sleep.

Both snoring and sleep apnea can disrupt your sleep and prevent you from getting the rest your body needs. A custom fitted oral appliance will help reduce the effects of sleep apnea and snoring allowing you to get a restful night’s sleep.

Worn in the mouth like an orthodontic appliance during sleep, oral appliances keep the soft tissue from collapsing and interrupting normal breathing patterns. The purpose of the oral appliance may be to reposition the lower jaw, tongue, soft palate, and hyoid bone into a certain position, to keep the airway open with stabilization of the tongue and jaw, or to provide artificial muscle tone to prevent collapse and resulting airway blockage.

Dr. Lovan will fit your oral appliance for comfort by using a mold of your mouth to design your unique fit.
