Oral appliance therapy

Oral appliance therapy does not have a drug dose. The usual direction is to wear the custom device nightly as fitted by your Dentulu dentist. Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the device label. Your dentist should guide the fit and any changes to how far the device moves your jaw.

Use Oral appliance therapy nightly as fitted by your Dentulu dentist, following your prescribing physician’s directions and the device label. Clean your teeth before placing it in your mouth. Seat it gently as shown during fitting. Do not force it into place or change its jaw setting on your own.

If you miss a night of Oral appliance therapy, return to your prescribed schedule at the next sleep period. Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the device label. Do not tighten the device or add extra wear time to make up for it. Contact your care team if missed nights become common.

Oral appliance therapy can cause jaw soreness, tooth discomfort, dry mouth, or extra saliva. It can also change your bite or tooth position over time. Tell your dentist about pain or a lasting bite change. Do not adjust the device yourself. Get urgent help for trouble breathing or swallowing.

Oral appliance therapy has no drug ingredient, but medicines, alcohol, and other dental devices can affect your care. Alcohol, opioids, and some sleep medicines may worsen breathing during sleep. Tell your physician and dentist what you use. Do not combine the device with a retainer or nightguard unless your dentist approves.

Clean and store your Oral appliance therapy device according to its label and your dentist’s instructions. Use only approved cleaning products and the storage case recommended for your device. Keep it away from heat, pets, and children. Ask your dentist whether your specific device should be stored dry or in liquid.

There is no set timeline for Oral appliance therapy to help. Some people notice changes after starting, while others need fit and jaw-setting adjustments. Results vary. Less snoring does not prove that sleep apnea is controlled. Your care team may use a follow-up sleep test to check treatment while you wear the device.

Do not stop Oral appliance therapy just because your snoring improves. Results vary, and quieter sleep does not prove that sleep apnea is gone. The device works only while worn. Ask your prescribing physician and dentist to review your treatment before stopping, and seek advice promptly if pain or damage prevents use.

Switch to Oral appliance therapy only with a plan from your sleep physician and dentist. Do not stop CPAP or another prescribed treatment while waiting for your custom device. A licensed physician or dentist in your state must assess whether the device is appropriate, and follow-up testing may be needed.
