Steps involved in treatment:
The consulation and exam are very comfortable and include a review of your medical history, and an examination of your teeth, surrounding tissues, and airway. Unique to our office is the use of a Pharyngometer and Rhinometer. These devices measure real-time air volume via soft sound waves to help us determine if oral appliance therapy is right for you. These are provided at no extra cost to our patients.
In a short presentation, various treatment options for Obstructive Sleep Apnea including the different models of Oral Appliances available will also be reviewed. After all of your questions are answered, and if you would like to began treatment on the same day, impressions of your upper and lower teeth will be taken for custom fabrication of your Oral Appliance. If you are being treated for sleep apnea, we will ensure successful treatment of your apnea with a follow up sleep study and coordination with your treating physicians.
All final documentation will be relayed to your referring physician, primary care physician and insurance.
