Treatment Options

We offer oral appliances, laser therapies, nasal release techniques, and myofunctional therapy.

An oral appliance is a custom-fitted device worn in the mouth to keep the airway open during sleep.

Laser therapy reduces soft tissue obstruction in the airway, improving breathing and sleep quality.

Oral myofunctional therapy involves exercises to strengthen the tongue and airway muscles to reduce sleep apnea symptoms.

Nasal release technique involves gentle manipulation to open nasal passages and improve breathing.

Treatment Process

The process includes a consultation, custom fitting, and follow-up adjustments to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
