Why Choose Custom Oral Appliance Therapy Over Store-Bought Mouthguards

July 1, 2025

At Sleep Better Lexington, we understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with snoring or sleep apnea. Many patients come to us after trying over-the-counter mouthguards only to find they’re uncomfortable, ineffective, or even make things worse.

While store-bought mouthguards may seem like a convenient solution, they’re not designed to treat sleep-disordered breathing. These devices often lack the precision needed to properly support your airway, which is essential for effective treatment. In some cases, they can even cause jaw discomfort or worsen alignment issues over time.


Custom oral appliance therapy, on the other hand, is tailored specifically to your anatomy. At Sleep Better Lexington, we use advanced digital imaging to design a device that gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open throughout the night. It’s comfortable, discreet, easy to wear, and backed by research.


As certified providers of Vivos and Toothpillow oral appliances, we offer proven, non-invasive solutions for both adults and children who suffer from sleep-disordered breathing. Unlike store-bought guards, our appliances are made with long-term health in mind.
