​
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. It often goes undiagnosed — but it can contribute to fatigue, heart problems, high blood pressure, and even diabetes. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which happens when soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and blocks the airway.​
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea
Not sure if you might be affected? Common symptoms include:
-
Loud, chronic snoring
-
Waking up gasping for air
-
Daytime fatigue or brain fog
-
Morning headaches
-
Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
-
Mood changes or irritability
​
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not without options.​

How We Can Help
At Riverview Dental, we partner with board-certified sleep physicians and use modern screening tools to identify if sleep apnea might be affecting your health.
For patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we offer a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines:
​
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
These small, mouthguard-like devices are worn during sleep and gently reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open. They’re:
-
Non-invasive
-
Quiet and travel-friendly
-
Comfortable and custom-fit
-
Easy to maintain
​
Many patients find oral appliances far easier to use than traditional CPAP devices — leading to better compliance and better rest.​
The Hushd Pro Avera is a clinically prescribed oral appliance for the treatment of snoring and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It is also a solution for people who are CPAP intolerant or desire an alternative treatment to CPAP.
Fabricated with medical grade nylon, combined with an AI-enabled 3D printed manufacturing process, the Hushd Pro Avera is the leading choice when seeking a comfortable, durable and effective treatment for our patients.
