Obstructive Sleep Apnea
How a protective mouthpiece can support your sleep

Dr. Kim provides help for mild to moderate OSA using specialized mouthpieces, and his page outlines major options including CPAP, surgery, and dental appliances. If you’re waking up tired, snoring, or experiencing morning headaches, it’s not a character flaw. Sleep is medical.

What dental sleep treatment is and isn't

• It’s not meant to replace medical diagnosis

• It can be a comfortable solution for certain patients—especially those who struggle with CPAP

​What does the process look like?​

1. Screening + conversation about symptoms and history

2. Coordination (often with your physician/sleep study process)

3. Custom appliance fitting (a mouthpiece worn at night)

4. Adjustments to find the most comfortable, effective position

5. Follow-ups to confirm comfort and effectiveness

​
