Sleep Apnea & Snore Guards
in Northeast Brampton
If you snore loudly or wake up tired after a full night's sleep, a custom oral appliance may help. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we make snore guards and mandibular advancement devices that keep your airway open without a mask or machine.
What Is an Oral Appliance for Sleep Apnea?
A mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a custom appliance that fits over your upper and lower teeth and holds the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. This helps keep your airway open. It is made in a dental lab from impressions and bite records, and it is calibrated to your anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a sleep apnea diagnosis first?
Yes. A diagnosis from a physician or accredited sleep clinic is required before therapy starts so the appliance is appropriate and its effectiveness can be monitored.
Can an oral appliance replace my CPAP machine?
For mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances can be effective as a standalone treatment. For severe sleep apnea, CPAP remains the standard. An appliance may suit patients who cannot tolerate CPAP.
Can the appliance shift my bite over time?
Minor changes in tooth contact are possible with long-term use. We monitor your bite at regular visits and can adjust the appliance.
What is the difference between a snore guard and a store-bought device?
Custom devices are calibrated to your anatomy and can be adjusted. Store-bought devices are not.
How much does an appliance cost?
Mandibular advancement devices start from $1,800.
