General information regarding your health care
The information and content (collectively, "Content") on this website is for your general educational information only. The Content cannot, and is not intended to, replace the relationship that you have with your health care professionals. The Content on this website is not medical advice. You should always talk to your health care professionals for information concerning diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you.

The Dental Care Cost Estimator sometimes groups together, into "treatment categories," services that are often delivered together to address a particular dental problem. The description of different treatment categories, and the inclusion of particular services in a treatment category, is not advice that any particular treatment category is the right treatment for you or that you should not obtain any particular treatment. All of those matters are things that you should decide, in consultation with your dental care professionals. This cost estimator is intended for use in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. If you live outside the U.S., you may see information on this cost estimator about products or services that are not available or authorized in your country.

More information regarding how cost estimates are calculated
Cost estimates for services provided by out-of-network dentists (available in the out-of-network estimator) are based upon submitted claims data for out-of-network providers. The data is based on actual, non-discounted charges that providers have billed.
Cost estimates are specific to geographic areas, as defined by the first three digits of a ZIP code (e.g., the geo ZIP for 12345 is 123).

An oral appliance can treat obstructive sleep apnea, a serious cause of snoring.
Do you snore? Snoring can warn of obstructive sleep apnea. If you have this condition, your throat muscles and tongue collapse onto the back of your throat, block your airway, and make you stop breathing repeatedly all night. Luckily, your doctor or dentist might be able to help.
One treatment for sleep apnea is a plastic oral appliance that can help keep your breathing passages open as you sleep. Another option is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. This is a mask connected to a tube that gently blows pressurized air through your airway to keep your throat open as you sleep.
Which option might be right for you? First, speak with your family doctor, who can refer you to a sleep center. The center will conduct an overnight sleep study to confirm your diagnosis and its severity. Based on that study, a sleep specialist will be able to tell you if a CPAP device or an oral appliance will work best.
For an oral appliance, you will be referred to a dentist or orthodontist familiar with sleep apnea. Oral appliances often work best with people who are not obese1 and have mild to moderate sleep apnea. Oral appliances also may help patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea who refuse or cannot tolerate CPAP treatment.
If you choose to use an oral appliance, your dentist or orthodontist can customize one for you. This appliance will help keep your airways open as you sleep.
While some studies have found CPAP units are more effective, studies have also shown that some people prefer the oral devices and tend to use them more.
