Sleep Apnea Treatment in Manhattan, NYC

Sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissues in the throat collapse and block the airway during sleep. These episodes—called apneas—can happen dozens of times per hour, often without the person being aware. The result is disrupted sleep, lowered oxygen levels, and increased stress on the heart and brain.

Common signs and symptoms include:

• Loud, chronic snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Morning headaches or dry mouth
• Daytime fatigue or irritability
• Difficulty concentrating
• High blood pressure or heart arrhythmias

For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea—or those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine—a custom oral appliance can be a life-changing solution. These devices, often referred to as mandibular advancement devices (MADs), gently reposition the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.

Unlike bulky CPAP masks, oral appliances are small, silent, and easy to travel with. They are created using digital impressions for a precise fit and improved comfort.

Your sleep apnea care begins with a consultation and airway evaluation at either our Midtown & Downtown Manhattan office. If oral appliance therapy is appropriate, we’ll coordinate with your sleep physician for diagnosis confirmation and documentation. Then, our team will take digital scans to create your custom device.

After delivery, we ensure proper fit and function, and provide follow-up care to monitor results. Adjustments can be made for comfort and performance as needed.

This therapy is often combined with related services like:

• Snore guards for mild snoring
• Bruxism treatment if clenching or grinding is present
• TMJ therapy for jaw joint discomfort
