Caring for your sleep appliance

How long does it take to get used to?: Most people adjust within a week or two. It's common to wake up and find you've taken it out during the night. Don't worry; just keep at it.
Is it normal to be a little sore?: Yes. Slight soreness in the morning after you take it out is normal. It should fade within an hour, and become milder the longer you wear the device. If the pain is severe, or you have trouble opening or closing your jaw, stop wearing it and call us.
Do I need to come back for a follow-up?: Yes, please. An in-person follow-up lets us make sure you're adjusting well and getting results. We also use it to send an update to your sleep physician.
Need help adjusting your device?: See our adjustment videos, or call us to set up an appointment.
Have another question?: The handout we gave you when your device was delivered covers the finer points and includes a sleep journal. You can download a copy at the top of this page.
