Is a sleep apnea mouth guard right for you?

Oral appliances are a recommended treatment for:

Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea

People with sleep apnea of any severity who can't tolerate CPAP

Snoring without sleep apnea

If your sleep test shows severe sleep apnea, CPAP is usually the first option. Your sleep physician will advise you.

How It Works

How Dentulu's Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard Works

Dentulu's mouth guard is a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD), an FDA-cleared oral appliance and the most widely used alternative to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the upper throat and tongue relax during sleep, causing soft tissue to collapse backward and partially or completely block your airway.

A custom MAD comfortably repositions your lower jaw (mandible) slightly forward during sleep, triggering three key anatomical changes:

Airway opens illustration

Airway Opens

Advancing the jaw moves the base of the tongue and soft palate away from the back of the throat, enlarging the airway passage so air flows freely.

Muscles activate illustration

Muscles Activate

The forward jaw position engages the muscles of the tongue and jaw, which help hold the airway open and keep it from collapsing.

Breathing restores illustration

Breathing Restores

With a more open, stable airway, you breathe more easily through the night, reducing apnea events, snoring, and the brief awakenings that break up your sleep.

Each Dentulu MAD is custom-made from digital impressions of your teeth. Your dentist sets how far your jaw moves forward (typically 3–8 mm) and adjusts it over time to balance comfort and results.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Why Am I Always Tired?

Sleep apnea symptoms often go unnoticed but can seriously impact your energy, focus, and overall health. If you experience any of the signs below, it may be time to explore professional sleep apnea evaluation and treatment options.

A home sleep test is a small device you wear overnight at home. It records your breathing, oxygen levels and sleep. Dentulu's test is prescribed by a licensed physician and shipped to your door. You return it, and a board-certified sleep physician reviews the results to diagnose sleep apnea, with no visit to a sleep center.

Dentulu's mouth guard is a custom-made, FDA-cleared oral appliance. It gently moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, which keeps your airway open and reduces snoring and breathing pauses. It's quiet, needs no power, and is easy to travel with.

Start with the 2-minute online assessment. If you need a sleep test, we ship one to you; results and a video consult usually follow within 3–5 business days. Most patients go from assessment to a fitted device in about 3–4 weeks.

If you've already been diagnosed, you can skip the testing stage and move directly to your custom oral appliance fitting. Just upload your medical records or diagnosis when signing up.

Yes. An oral appliance for sleep apnea needs a prescription, based on a sleep study that confirms your diagnosis and its severity. If you've had a sleep study in the past 12 months, you can upload it and we may be able to use it. If not, we'll arrange a home sleep test.

Many medical insurance plans cover home sleep tests and oral appliances when they're prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea. Coverage depends on your plan and diagnosis. We check your benefits and give you a cost estimate before you commit. HSA and FSA cards are also accepted.

Yes. Dentulu's oral appliances are FDA-cleared and custom-made for your bite.

Dentulu offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your oral appliance is not the right fit or doesn't work for you, you may qualify for a full or partial refund depending on your insurance coverage or purchase method.

Most patients find Dentulu's oral appliances far more comfortable than CPAP machines. They are custom-fitted, minimally invasive, and silent, making them easy to wear through the night.

Yes. Dentulu follows strict HIPAA guidelines to keep your medical data safe, private, and secure throughout your treatment journey.

Yes, a custom sleep apnea or anti-snoring mouth guard may help reduce or prevent severe snoring by gently repositioning the jaw and keeping the airway open during sleep. Many patients experience improved airflow, reduced snoring, and better sleep quality. For best results, a professionally fitted custom oral appliance is recommended.

While over-the-counter mouth guards are widely available, they lack the clinical calibration required to treat obstructive sleep apnea safely. A custom-fitted Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) provides millimeter-accurate jaw advancement, protects your TMJ alignment, and ensures maximum airway stability throughout the night.
