Sleep Appliances in Carmel, IN
A good night’s sleep is essential for your health, mood, and overall wellbeing — yet many patients struggle with snoring, disrupted breathing, or feeling exhausted even after a full night in bed. At Mouchaham Dentistry, we’re here to help. Drs. Nick and Laura Mouchaham offer custom sleep appliances designed to treat snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea comfortably and effectively.
If you or your partner are losing sleep, we can work with your physician to create a safe, non-invasive solution — one that helps you breathe easier and wake up refreshed.
What Are Sleep Appliances?
A sleep appliance (also called an oral appliance or mandibular advancement device) is a custom-made device worn at night to keep your airway open while you sleep. It gently repositions your lower jaw forward, preventing the soft tissues of the throat from collapsing and blocking airflow.
At Mouchaham Dentistry, sleep appliances are:
- Custom-fit for maximum comfort
- Small, lightweight, and easy to travel with
- A great alternative for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP
- Designed with digital precision using modern scanning technology
Whether your concern is disruptive snoring or physician-diagnosed sleep apnea, oral appliances offer an effective, patient-friendly solution.
Who Can Benefit From a Sleep Appliance?
Sleep appliances are a great option for patients who:
- Snore loudly or regularly
- Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer a more comfortable alternative
- Wake up frequently during the night
- Feel tired despite a full night’s rest
- Experience morning headaches or dry mouth
- Want a small, portable solution for travel
In Carmel, IN, we frequently see busy professionals, parents, and older adults seeking a simpler, quieter way to sleep better — and many find relief with a dental sleep appliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping during sleep, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, and poor concentration. A formal sleep study (in-office or at-home) provides a diagnosis, and we can help coordinate this with your physician.
Are sleep appliances comfortable?
Yes. Our devices are custom-made using precise digital scans, making them far more comfortable than store-bought options.
Can I use a sleep appliance instead of a CPAP?
Many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea successfully use sleep appliances as an alternative to CPAP — especially if they find CPAP noisy, uncomfortable, or difficult to tolerate.
Will it stop my snoring completely?
Most patients experience a significant reduction in snoring. For many, snoring stops entirely.
Do I need a sleep study before getting a sleep appliance?
If sleep apnea is suspected, yes — a sleep study ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate. We collaborate closely with local physicians to make this process smooth and convenient.
