What is Oral Appliance Therapy?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition that disrupts your breathing while you sleep—causing loud snoring, restless nights, and long-term health risks that go far beyond fatigue. Fortunately, there’s a comfortable and effective alternative to the CPAP machine: Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT).
At Dr. Koval Orthodontics, we offer custom-made oral appliances that reposition the jaw and tongue to keep your airway open throughout the night. These FDA-approved devices are a non-invasive, comfortable, and highly effective solution for managing mild to moderate OSA, and for patients who can’t tolerate a CPAP.
As a qualified provider through the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Svitlana Koval uses advanced diagnostics and a personalized approach to help you sleep better, feel better, and protect your long-term health.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy
Non-Invasive, Comfortable Treatment
Unlike CPAP machines, which can feel bulky or uncomfortable, oral appliances are compact and easy to wear. They’re custom-designed for your mouth, so you can breathe better and sleep comfortably without noisy machines or masks.
Better Sleep, More Energy
By preventing airway collapse during sleep, oral appliances improve oxygen flow and reduce nighttime awakenings. Patients often report feeling more rested, focused, and energized—starting from the very first week of wear.
Reduced Risk of Long-Term Health Issues
Untreated sleep apnea is linked to serious conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, depression, and even Alzheimer’s. By managing your OSA with an oral appliance, you’re taking an important step toward protecting your long-term wellness.

The Oral Appliance Therapy Process
Our goal is to make your journey to better sleep as smooth, clear, and supportive as possible.
Initial Assessment
We start with a comprehensive consultation, where Dr. Koval will review your symptoms, medical history, and any existing sleep study results. If needed, we’ll help coordinate further diagnostic testing to confirm the presence and severity of sleep apnea.
Customized Treatment Planning
Every appliance is customized based on your anatomy, sleep needs, and tolerance level. We’ll take detailed digital impressions and select the right device for your case—like a ProSomnus oral appliance designed for superior fit and minimal bulk.
Ongoing Care and Adjustment
After fitting your appliance, we’ll monitor your progress closely to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Follow-up visits allow us to make adjustments, track improvements, and collaborate with your medical provider as needed. We also help patients submit claims if their medical insurance covers treatment.
