Sleep Apnea Treatment in Gaithersburg, MD

At Schneider Family Dentistry, we offer effective dental solutions for sleep apnea. Our custom oral appliances in Gaithersburg, MD provide a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines, helping you breathe easier, sleep better, and improve your overall health.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway. This disrupts sleep and reduces oxygen levels, leading to serious health problems if left untreated.

Oral Appliance Therapy

Dr. Adam Schneider, Dr. Katie Staub, or Dr. Thomas Tran can create a custom oral appliance that gently repositions your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. These devices are similar to night guards but specifically designed to treat sleep apnea. They're comfortable, portable, and easy to use—making them an excellent alternative for patients who can't tolerate CPAP machines.
