Comfortable, Quiet, and Doctor-Approved: Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea
If you’ve been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but struggle to use your CPAP machine, you’re not alone. Up to 50% of patients stop using CPAP because of discomfort, noise, or poor sleep quality. As a Medicare-approved DME provider, Maple Leaf Dental can help you qualify for a custom oral appliance — a small, discreet device worn during sleep that gently repositions the jaw and opens your airway naturally.
Key Points:
- Covered by Medicare (with proper documentation)
- Doctor-prescribed, FDA-approved, and fitted by a dental professional
- No hoses, straps, or noise
- Portable for travel
- Easy to maintain and wear
Do You Qualify for a Medicare-Covered Sleep Appliance?
To qualify, you need:
- A current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Proof that you’re unable to tolerate CPAP (documented by your physician)
- A prescription or referral from your sleep physician

Does Medicare cover oral appliances for sleep apnea?
Yes — when prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea and if CPAP intolerance is documented. As a Medicare-approved DME provider, our office handles the documentation, billing, and coordination with your physician.
