An OSA Appliance (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Appliance) is a custom-made oral appliance designed to help manage mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by gently advancing the lower jaw during sleep. This forward positioning helps maintain an open airway, reducing airway collapse and improving breathing throughout the night.

At Times Dental Lab, every OSA Appliance is digitally designed and precisely fabricated to provide a comfortable fit, effective retention, and long-term clinical performance.
