Snoring & Sleep Apnea Care

Better Nights Begin
With Better Breathing

Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea affect far more than sleep — they touch energy, focus, heart health, and the rest of whoever shares your room. At Smiles by Mia, we offer two complementary paths to easier nighttime breathing, both starting with a careful evaluation.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, struggle to tolerate CPAP, or simply want the snoring to stop, Dr. Mia will help you understand your options and coordinate with your physician where a sleep diagnosis is needed.

Custom Comfort

Sleep Apnea Appliances

A custom oral appliance gently repositions the jaw during sleep to keep the airway more open — recommended for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or persistent snoring, especially when CPAP is difficult to tolerate. Compact, quiet, and far more comfortable than one-size-fits-all options.

  • Reduces snoring and supports better airflow during sleep
  • A welcome alternative for patients who struggle with CPAP
  • Custom fit for comfort, travel-friendly and silent

How it works

Worn like a small mouthguard or retainer, the appliance positions the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open — reducing obstruction, snoring, and breathing interruptions.

Good candidates

Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, chronic snoring, or CPAP intolerance — confirmed through a sleep diagnosis and a dental evaluation of your teeth, bite, jaw joints, and airway.

Vs. CPAP

CPAP remains a first-line treatment for many patients. For the right candidate, an oral appliance offers comparable nightly relief in a quieter, more portable form — and the best choice is made together with your physician.

Sleep quality

For the right patient: better sleep, reduced snoring, and improved daytime energy.

NightLase laser snoring and sleep apnea treatment at Smiles by Mia

Laser Option

NightLase

NightLase is a noninvasive laser treatment that gently tightens tissue at the back of the mouth and throat — reducing the vibration that causes snoring and supporting more open airflow, with no nightly equipment at all.

  • Noninvasive option for selected snoring and airway cases
  • Er:YAG laser energy supports natural tissue tightening
  • No appliances, anesthesia, or downtime

How it helps snoring

Gentle laser energy warms and tightens the soft palate and surrounding tissue, stimulating collagen remodeling so tissues vibrate less during sleep.

Is it a sleep apnea cure?

NightLase can reduce snoring and support airflow in mild to moderate cases, but it is not a replacement for proper diagnosis — loud snoring, gasping, or daytime fatigue should be evaluated first, and NightLase may join a broader care plan.

The experience

Non-surgical, no cutting, typically performed without anesthesia — most patients return to their day immediately.

Treatment series

Like other collagen-based laser treatments, results build over a recommended series of sessions.

Your Path to Restful Sleep

1 · Evaluation

A thorough airway, bite, and jaw evaluation with Dr. Mia — plus a careful conversation about your sleep, snoring, and energy.

2 · Diagnosis

Where sleep apnea is suspected, we coordinate with your physician for a proper sleep study, because the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

3 · Your Treatment

A custom appliance, NightLase, or both — matched to your severity, comfort, and lifestyle, with follow-up to make sure it's truly working.
