Arizona's altitude and dry air exacerbate sleep breathing disorders, while our resort culture means many patients avoid bulky CPAP machines. We offer comfortable oral appliance therapy as an effective alternative for mild to moderate sleep apnea. Our devices are customized for each patient's anatomy and lifestyle - compact enough for snowbirds to travel with yet durable enough for our climate.
We coordinate with Scottsdale-area sleep specialists to ensure comprehensive care. The appliances help combat 'high desert fatigue' by improving sleep quality and oxygen levels. For patients with seasonal allergies complicating breathing, we create appliances that accommodate nasal congestion patterns unique to our valley.
