A Dentist Who Wears an Oral Appliance Himself
Dr. Gamache brings a perspective most sleep dentists can't — he has sleep apnea himself and wears an oral appliance every night. This firsthand experience shapes how he fits and adjusts each device. He understands the subtle differences between a tolerable fit and a truly comfortable one because he lives with the same therapy he prescribes.
His approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation. From there, he works with your sleep physician to select the right type of oral appliance for your anatomy and severity level. Dr. Gamache uses digital scanning and iterative titration — gradually advancing the appliance position over several weeks — to find the optimal setting that maximizes airway opening without causing jaw discomfort.
He also offers Solea, a non-invasive laser treatment that tightens soft tissue in the airway to reduce snoring and mild apnea. For patients who need both approaches, he can combine oral appliance therapy with Solea for enhanced results.

What Patients Are Saying
I went from severe sleep apnea to a normal level of 0.9 AHI with my custom fitted mouth piece. This was a huge game changer! More importantly, I feel the best I've ever felt!
