The surprising connection between your mouth and your sleep

Most people think of sleep apnea as a medical problem — and it is. But what many don’t know is that the shape of your jaw, the position of your tongue, and the structure of your teeth all directly affect whether your airway stays open while you sleep. As a sleep apnea dentist in Franklin, WI, Loomis Road Dental addresses the oral and structural factors behind snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and related breathing disorders.

Conditions

Snoring, sleep apnea (mild–moderate), TMJ, mouth breathing, pediatric airway

Treatment

Oral appliance therapy, myofunctional referral

Collaborative care & referrals

Dr. Giannelli works alongside sleep physicians, ENTs, and orthodontists in Franklin, WI. We communicate directly with your medical team so treatment is medically sound, coordinated, and properly billed through your medical insurance.

Sleep apnea screening

In-office screening and risk assessment. The first step to understanding whether your sleep is affecting your health.

Oral appliance therapy

Custom-fitted mandibular advancement device. Primary dental treatment for mild–moderate OSA and a proven CPAP alternative.

Snoring treatment

Non-apnea snoring addressed with custom oral appliances. A comfortable, quiet solution for a better night’s sleep.

TMJ / jaw pain treatment

TMD evaluation and management. Closely linked to airway and sleep — often the missing piece for chronically exhausted patients.

Pediatric airway evaluation

Mouth breathing, tongue tie, and airway obstruction in children. Early dental intervention prevents long-term developmental and orthodontic complications.

Night guards & bruxism

Custom night guards for teeth grinding — closely linked to sleep-disordered breathing and jaw tension.

My wife had been telling me I stopped breathing in my sleep for years. I finally got a home sleep test through this office, got diagnosed with moderate OSA, and now wear a small appliance. I wake up rested for the first time in a decade.
