At Dental Studio CdA, Dr. Friedman offers the latest developed custom oral appliance therapy. This appliance therapy is comfortable, metal & nickel free, and a non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy or invasive surgeries. Our oral appliance is the first bioengineered oral device to dilate the velopharynx and the oropharynx keeping the airway open and the tongue guided to a forward front position allowing the mouth to stay closed.
Snoring, breaks or pauses in breathing, and poor sleep are often experienced by patients with undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). These symptoms often thought of as minor are actually signs of a serious health condition ultimately putting the individual at risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, or even death.
Do you have undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Signs to be aware of:
✔ Loud, chronic snoring

Dr. Friedman Treats the Patient not Your Insurance
Oral appliances to treat obstructive sleep apnea have been around as early as the mid 1970’s when the Herbst appliance was developed. Over the next few decades oral appliances have evolved into an appliance that is smaller, more comfortable, developed with hypoallergenic materials, and engineered to better serve patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
It is very common with both medical and dental insurance companies to “cover” the least costly therapy or treatment to “fix” the diagnosis and symptoms. An example of this coverage is when dental insurance will “cover” or “pay for” alloy/silver fillings vs composite/white fillings.
Patients can rest assured when seeing Dr. Friedman that their diagnosed treatment and overall dental health is his priority when providing patient care vs treatment or an appliance your insurance may or may not cover.
