Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy, cost, and insurance.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the muscles in your throat relax and block your airway. This can happen dozens or even hundreds of times per night, preventing you from getting restful sleep and putting strain on your heart.
Common signs include loud snoring, waking up gasping or choking, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Your partner may notice that you stop breathing during sleep. The only way to confirm a diagnosis is with a sleep study, which can now be done at home with a simple device.
Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fitted device — similar to a sports mouthguard or retainer — that you wear during sleep. The appliance gently repositions your lower jaw forward, which keeps your airway open and prevents the throat collapse that causes sleep apnea. It's FDA-cleared, silent, portable, and covered by most medical insurance.
For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy is considered equally effective as CPAP by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. For severe sleep apnea, CPAP may provide slightly better airway control, but many severe patients who can't tolerate CPAP see excellent results with oral appliances. The key is that a treatment only works if you actually use it — and compliance rates for oral appliances (~90%) far exceed CPAP (~50%).
From your first consultation to receiving your custom appliance typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. The process includes a consultation, a sleep study (if you haven't had one), digital impressions of your teeth, and a fitting appointment. Most patients notice improved sleep within the first week of wearing their device.
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific insurance plan, deductible status, and copay structure — which is why we verify your exact benefits before treatment begins, at no cost to you. Oral appliance therapy is billed through your medical insurance (not dental), and most major medical plans cover it. Thomas's team handles insurance verification and pre-authorization so you know your real cost before committing to anything. Call or text (619) 880-8774 for a free benefits check.
Most sleep physicians support oral appliance therapy, especially when CPAP compliance has been poor. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recognizes OAT as a first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate sleep apnea and as an alternative for severe cases when CPAP fails. Thomas coordinates directly with your existing sleep physician, or can arrange a new sleep study if needed.
Most patients notice improvement within the first week — better sleep quality, reduced snoring, and more energy during the day. The appliance is fine-tuned over 2–4 weeks to reach the optimal jaw position. A follow-up sleep test confirms that your AHI has been reduced to a healthy range.
