DreamSleep™ Oral Appliance Therapy in Royal Palm Beach, FL
A custom oral appliance that repositions the jaw during sleep to reduce snoring and improve airflow.
What is DreamSleep™ Oral Appliance Therapy?
Snoring that rattles the walls, waking up exhausted after a full night in bed, or a partner nudging you because you stopped breathing for a few seconds. These are signs your airway partially collapses during sleep, and a DreamSleep™ oral appliance therapy device can help. We custom-fit a small, smooth mouthpiece that gently holds your lower jaw forward, keeping soft tissue from blocking airflow.
The appliance slips in like a retainer and comes out each morning. There is no mask, no hose, and no machine noise. For patients in Royal Palm Beach, FL who struggle with CPAP or simply cannot tolerate it, this approach often becomes the turning point. Some patients also benefit from adult tongue tie treatment when a restricted tongue contributes to airway narrowing during sleep.
Benefits of DreamSleep™ Oral Appliance Therapy
DreamSleep™ oral appliance therapy gives you a quieter, more restful night with a device that fits in the palm of your hand.
Sleep Through the Night
The appliance gently holds your lower jaw forward, keeping your airway open so you breathe steadily all night. Most patients notice deeper, uninterrupted sleep within the first week or two.
No Machine, No Mask
A small, custom-fitted oral device replaces bulky CPAP equipment. It slips over your teeth like a retainer, so you can sleep in any position and travel without packing extra gear.
A Comfortable Fit You Keep
We take precise digital scans and adjust the appliance until it feels right. Some patients also benefit from tongue tie treatment to further improve airway function and comfort.
Could This Appliance Work for You?
If your partner has started sleeping in another room because of your snoring, or you wake up exhausted no matter how many hours you spent in bed, DreamSleep™ oral appliance therapy may be the answer. Adults diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea are strong candidates, especially those who tried a CPAP and couldn't tolerate the mask, noise, or tubing. The appliance also helps people in Royal Palm Beach, FL who grind their teeth at night or deal with TMJ discomfort tied to airway issues.
Some patients discover their breathing problems trace back to soft-tissue restrictions. In those cases, we may recommend an adult frenectomy or tongue tie release alongside the oral appliance to open the airway more fully. Age isn't a barrier. We fit the device for adults in their twenties through their eighties. If you can wear a retainer, you can wear this. Our team evaluates your airway, bite, and sleep history before recommending treatment, so you'll know it's the right fit before you commit.

Advanced DreamSleep™ Oral Appliance Therapy Technology
We start with a digital scan of your teeth and bite, capturing thousands of data points in about two minutes. That 3D model feeds directly into the lab's CAD software, where your appliance is milled from medical-grade copolymer that flexes just enough for comfort without losing its hold on jaw position. Older boil-and-bite guards could not match this level of fit.
Titration hardware built into the appliance lets us adjust jaw advancement in half-millimeter increments at follow-up visits. Small changes make a real difference in airflow without creating joint soreness. We also pair the appliance with pulse oximetry home testing so we can verify that oxygen levels improve, not just assume they do. If restricted tissue plays a role, an adult frenectomy can further open the airway path.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first visit starts with a quick evaluation of your jaw, airway, and bite. We take impressions or digital scans of your teeth so the appliance fits precisely. The whole appointment usually runs about 30 minutes, and nothing about it is uncomfortable.
Once your custom appliance is ready, you return for a fitting. Most people adjust within a few nights. We schedule a short follow-up to check the fit and make any minor tweaks. If a restricted tongue or lip tie is affecting your airway, we may also recommend tongue tie treatment or an adult frenectomy as part of your overall care plan.
Before Your Appointment
- Bring any previous sleep study results or a note from your physician so we can review your airway history during the consultation.
- Skip caffeine for at least four hours before your appointment, since it can tighten your jaw muscles and affect how we assess your bite.
- Write down when your snoring or pauses in breathing tend to be worst, such as sleeping on your back or after a late meal.
After Your Appointment
- Rinse your appliance each morning under cool water and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush. Skip toothpaste, which can scratch the surface.
- Keep the appliance in its hard case whenever it's out of your mouth. Leaving it on a nightstand or wrapped in a napkin leads to damage or loss.
- Expect mild jaw stiffness the first few mornings. Open and close your mouth slowly a few times after removing the appliance to let your bite settle back.

We have moved recently and needed a new dentist. This is actually a happy place. The female staff is outstanding. All the equipment is first class up to date. I couldn’t have asked for a better introductory experience. Our next appointment is already set. Would definitely recommend.

Was my first time here, and it was a fantastic dental experience. Dr. Civetti and her assistant Kelly are amazing. Dr. Civetti is not rushed, and takes time to explain everything.

Wonderful office. Dr. Civetti and staff treat you so warmly—just like family every-time. I have been going to this office for years and am always happy. Professional, competent, and caring.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a DreamSleep™ oral appliance last before it needs replacing?
Most appliances last three to five years with regular use. We check the fit and condition at your routine visits and let you know when wear starts affecting performance so you're never caught off guard.
Can I travel with a DreamSleep™ oral appliance?
Absolutely. The appliance fits in a small protective case that slides into a carry-on bag. There's no power cord, no water reservoir, and no TSA hassle, so it works just as well in a hotel room as it does at home.
Is an oral appliance effective for severe sleep apnea?
Mild to moderate cases respond best. For severe apnea, a CPAP is usually the first recommendation, but some patients who can't tolerate CPAP still benefit from an appliance. We review your sleep study results and coordinate with your physician.
Will wearing the appliance change my bite over time?
Minor bite shifts can happen with any oral appliance worn nightly. We include morning repositioning exercises and monitor your bite at follow-up visits to catch changes early and keep everything stable.
How often do I need follow-up visits after I start using the appliance?
We typically schedule a check about four to six weeks after delivery, then every six months after that. These visits let us fine-tune the jaw position, confirm your symptoms are improving, and inspect the appliance for wear.
