Harris Legacy Dentistry, Warrenton, VA
Harris Legacy Dentistry in Warrenton, VA makes custom oral appliances in its own office for patients with sleep apnea or snoring. Worn during sleep, the appliance moves the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open, and it usually goes through medical rather than dental insurance.
At Harris Legacy Dentistry in Warrenton, we are proud to manufacture sleep apnea devices (oral or mandibular devices) for our patients experiencing sleep apnea. Before scheduling an appointment with Harris Legacy Dentistry, contact your medical insurance company for reimbursement/pricing information.
A sleep disorder that causes repeated awakenings that lead to significant daytime drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, sleep apnea detrimentally affects a patient’s sleep habits and overall health. The American Medical Association reports that while approximately 30 million Americans have sleep apnea, a mere six million sufferers have been officially diagnosed.
We begin with an initial consultation and evaluation of your oral and overall health. Based on our findings, we may recommend using dental appliances or oral mandibular advancement devices that move the lower jaw forward and/or prevent the tongue from blocking the throat during sleep. Our team manufactures the dental/mandibular devices in-house to properly fit your mouth. Before scheduling an appointment, please contact your medical insurance provider for coverage options. For severe Sleep Apnea, a consultation and “nighttime sleep test” with a medical doctor may be necessary to determine the best treatment, such as a CPAP machine.
Treatment can help you feel more rested throughout the day while also providing relief from snoring and other sleep apnea-related symptoms. It can also improve your overall well-being by improving your quality of life and reducing the systemic risks associated with untreated sleep apnea.

Most people adjust within a few weeks. Some notice mild jaw soreness or extra saliva in the morning at first, which usually eases; tell us if it does not, and we will adjust the device.
After your consultation and evaluation, we take a digital scan or impressions of your teeth and make the device in our office, then fit it and adjust it at follow-up visits until it works well for you.
Clean it every morning as we show you, let it dry, and store it in its case. Keep your follow-up visits so we can check the fit, and see your doctor to confirm the treatment is working.
