Sleep Apnea Treatment
at Refreshed Sleep
Struggling with sleep apnea doesn't mean you're stuck with uncomfortable machines or impersonal care.
At Refreshed Sleep in Denver and Castle Rock, we help you explore personalized, non-invasive options for managing obstructive sleep apnea with comfort, clarity, and continuous support.
Our goal is simple—provide better sleep that supports your routine.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
at Refreshed Sleep
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is more than just snoring or feeling tired. It's a chronic sleep disorder where the muscles in your throat relax as you sleep, causing the airway to collapse and repeatedly block airflow.
These interruptions often go unnoticed, but their effects are far-reaching. They leave you exhausted, foggy, and disconnected from your daily rhythm.
If you're here, chances are you've been feeling off for a while.
Maybe you've been waking up groggy, yawning through meetings, or noticing tension in your relationships because of loud snoring or poor rest.
You're not alone, and you don't have to push through another day of exhaustion.
At Refreshed Sleep, we offer a different kind of care that is quiet, comfortable, and truly individualized. There are no intimidating machines or rushed appointments.
Instead, you'll work one-on-one with Dr. Brenna McLain, a dental sleep medicine provider who believes treatment should be as personal as the problem you're facing.
Our low-volume, high-touch model allows us to slow down, listen deeply, and create a treatment plan that actually makes sense for your life.
You deserve to wake up energized, not overwhelmed. That starts with a sleep solution designed around you.
Why Treating
Sleep Apnea Matters
Untreated sleep apnea quietly chips away at the quality of your sleep and the energy you bring daily.
Each time your airway closes during the night, your body is forced to wake up to start breathing again.
These micro-awakenings can happen dozens or even hundreds of times per night, preventing you from getting to the deep, restorative stages of sleep your body needs to recover.
You may still wake up feeling like you barely slept, even if you're in bed for eight hours. That grogginess can turn into persistent fatigue, irritability, and brain fog.
Untreated OSA has been linked to more serious issues over time, such as blood pressure imbalances, metabolic changes, and mood disruptions.
But we believe in paying attention to what you can gain at Refreshed Sleep, not what you might lose.
Receiving treatment isn't just about avoiding health risks—it's about regaining control over your days.
With proper care, many of our patients report:
- Clearer focus and sharper thinking
- Increased daytime energy and productivity
- Better mood and emotional stability
- Renewed connection with partners, family, and friends
- Restful sleep that finally feels refreshing
Sleep apnea may be a clinical condition, but its impact on your life is deeply personal.
Our treatment approach is built around helping you reclaim the simple, joyful things—a peaceful night, a clear morning, and the strength to show up for what matters most.
Your Personalized Treatment Path
at Refreshed Sleep
What Happens After Diagnosis?
At Refreshed Sleep, your journey begins after diagnosis. Our role is to treat, not test or diagnose.
As a dental sleep medicine clinic, we partner closely with board-certified sleep physicians who handle the medical evaluation and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
If you haven't been tested, we help guide you through the process of completing a home sleep test using trusted technology, such as ZMachine or Wesper, depending on what best fits your needs.
Once you've been officially diagnosed, we step in to offer treatment built around your goals and comfort. Whether your sleep apnea is moderate or severe, we take the time to understand how it's affecting your daily life, not just your sleep numbers.
There are no one-size-fits-all plans here. We focus on creating solutions that work for you, starting with a conversation, not a prescription.
How We Guide You Every Step
What makes Refreshed Sleep different is how personal your care is.
Dr. Brenna McLain leads your treatment journey and remains actively involved from your first consultation through ongoing follow-up.
She works with a small, dedicated team to ensure your experience runs smoothly, and every patient benefits from her hands-on, detail-focused approach.
During your initial visit, Dr. McLain will personally review your diagnosis, explore your symptoms, and walk you through treatment options for your needs and lifestyle.
She takes the time to listen and explain, so you feel confident, clear, and never pressured.
Patients often tell us that the difference at Refreshed Sleep isn't just what we offer, it's how we offer it.
With less volume and more intention, our care model makes space for meaningful connection, education, and follow-up that truly make treatment stick.
A Cord-Free CPAP Alternative
That Fits Your Life

What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?
CPAP therapy has helped many people manage sleep apnea, but it's not the right fit for everyone.
Oral appliance therapy may be your ideal alternative if you've struggled with masks, tubing, or noise, or simply want a simpler, more discreet option.
These are slim, custom-fitted devices worn during sleep and are similar to a mouthguard or retainer.
Oral appliances work by gently realigning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open throughout the night.
They can effectively reduce or eliminate apnea events and loud snoring by stabilizing the airway without forced airflow or bulky machines.
Refreshed Sleep focuses exclusively on dental sleep solutions, which means we've refined this process to prioritize comfort, simplicity, and results.
We use high-quality appliances from leading brands, including:
- SomnoMed
- ProSomnus
- DynaFlex
- TAP
- Panthera
- OrthoApnea
- Serena Sleep
- Good Sleep Co.
Each device is hand-selected based on your anatomy, preferences, and sleep study results. We don't push a single model—we help you find the one that fits your life best.

Many patients come to us expecting to stop snoring. They leave with better energy, improved sleep quality, and greater control over their nighttime routine.
Here's why patients across Denver, Castle Rock, and beyond choose oral appliances:
- No Tubing, No Mask, No Machine: Enjoy uninterrupted rest without forced airflow or device noise
- Discreet and Travel-Ready: Lightweight and compact, oral appliances are easy to take on the road or use at home without disruption
- Comfortable Fit for Consistent Use: Each appliance is tailored to your mouth, ensuring comfort and ease of wear, even for those who've struggled with traditional devices
- No Electricity Required: Great for people who value simplicity or live a more mobile lifestyle
- Ideal for CPAP Intolerance: Oral appliances offer relief without compromise for patients who've tried CPAP and found it overwhelming or uncomfortable
Oral appliance therapy helps turn treatment from a burden into something you can actually live with and stick to. For many, that's the difference between temporary improvement and lasting change.
Ongoing Support That Makes a Difference
We Track, Adjust, and Celebrate Progress Together

Sleep apnea treatment isn't a set it and forget it process, especially not at Refreshed Sleep.
Once your oral appliance has been delivered and fitted, we continue to walk with you to ensure it's working as intended and feeling as comfortable as possible.
Dr. McLain personally oversees every step of follow-up care, fine-tuning the appliance as needed to maximize effectiveness.
She approaches your progress with detail, patience, and care, whether it's adjusting the position of your jaw, ensuring proper bite alignment, or checking for wear and tear.
Regular check-ins aren't a formality—they're how we ensure your treatment works with your lifestyle, even as your body changes over time.
We stay in communication with your physician’s team to provide coordinated care that keeps your whole health in view.

Supportive Lifestyle Changes
That Help Your Therapy Work Better
Small Shifts That Support Big Results
Sleep apnea treatment doesn't stop with a device—it works best when supported by habits that promote better breathing and deeper rest.
At Refreshed Sleep, we're not here to overhaul your routine. Instead, we offer small, sustainable tips that enhance your results without overwhelming you.
You won't get a list of rules or restrictions here. Just gentle suggestions, grounded in sleep science and real-life routines:
- Sleep on Your Side: Side sleeping helps prevent the airway from collapsing and supports better airflow throughout the night
- Clear Nasal Congestion: Managing allergies or sinus issues can reduce nighttime mouth breathing and improve appliance effectiveness
- Avoid Alcohol or Sedatives Before Bed: These substances relax the airway muscles, increasing the risk of interruptions during sleep
- Create a Calming Bedtime Routine: A consistent wind-down routine, dim lights, quiet activities, and screen-free time, helps signal your body to shift into rest mode
These aren't requirements—they're small, strategic shifts that help your therapy work better.
You don't have to be perfect. You just need a partner who helps you find what works. At Refreshed Sleep, that's exactly what we're here to do.
