Tired of being tired?
Obstructive sleep apnea quietly steals your rest, night after night. Many of our Washington-area patients arrive after years of loud snoring, restless sleep, and mornings that never feel rested – and many have already tried a CPAP and given up on it.
- You snore loudly enough that someone else has mentioned it
- You wake up gasping, choking, or with a dry mouth and headache
- You're exhausted during the day no matter how early you go to bed
- You've been told to use a CPAP but can't sleep with the mask
If you checked even one of these boxes, it’s worth a conversation. See the full list of sleep apnea signs and symptoms, or skip straight to scheduling a consultation.
Obstructive sleep apnea treatment - without the CPAP

From your first visit to your first full night's sleep
Getting started with sleep apnea treatment in Washington is simpler than most people expect. Here’s the path our patients follow.
Consultation
We review your symptoms, sleep history, and any prior sleep study or CPAP experience, and examine your airway, jaw, and teeth.
Diagnosis confirmation
Oral appliance therapy is prescribed for diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. If you need a sleep study, we coordinate with your physician.
Digital scan & custom fit
A fast, comfortable digital scan of your teeth is used to fabricate your custom appliance – no messy impression trays.
Delivery & follow-up
We fit and fine-tune your appliance, then follow up to make sure you’re sleeping – and breathing – better every night.
Why untreated sleep apnea matters
Americans are estimated to have sleep apnea – most of them undiagnosed
Breathing can pause dozens of times per hour in untreated obstructive sleep apnea
Is all it takes to start sleeping with a custom oral appliance once it’s fitted
Couldn't wear the CPAP? You're in good company.
CPAP machines work well for people who can tolerate them – but many can’t. Masks leak, hoses tangle, and the noise keeps partners awake. An oral appliance for sleep apnea travels in your pocket, makes no sound, and needs no electricity.
We put the two side by side so you can see exactly how they compare on comfort, convenience, and everyday life.
Sleep apnea treatment questions we hear most
Do I need a CPAP to treat obstructive sleep apnea?
Not necessarily. For many adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea – and for those who cannot tolerate a CPAP – oral appliance therapy is a recognized, physician-supported treatment. During your consultation we’ll review your diagnosis and determine whether an oral appliance is right for you.
Is an oral appliance comfortable to sleep in?
Most patients adapt within a few nights. Your appliance is custom-made from a digital scan of your own teeth, so it fits precisely – no bulky, one-size-fits-all boil-and-bite device. Modern appliances like the Dandy sleep appliance are thin, lightweight, and metal-free.
Will it stop my snoring too?
In most cases, yes. Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea share the same root cause: a narrowed airway. By holding your lower jaw slightly forward, the appliance keeps the airway open – which typically quiets or eliminates snoring as well.
