What is a custom nightguard for sleep apnea and how does it work?

A custom nightguard for sleep apnea is a specially designed oral appliance that repositions your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep.

These devices are an excellent alternative to CPAP machines for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
