Diagnosis + non invasive therapy

We offer the latest in Diagnistic Technology:

Rhinometer. The Rhinometer test is performed first to check the nasal passages and to rule out any obstruction or enlargement as the cause of a sleep disordered breathing problem. The Rhinometer uses acoustic reflection to map the nasal passages, searching out any obstruction or enlargement.

Pharyngometer. As for the airways itself, the Pharyngometer is used. This tool sends sound waves down the throat, noting the diameter, stability, and problem spots. This allows the dentist to discover existing points of obstruction as well as optimal breathing position. The Pharyngometer is also instrumental in determining successful oral appliance therapy.

Treatments

A custom desinged oral appliance worn while sleeping, holds the lower jaw forward and open, preventing the tongue and throat tissues from collapsing the critical airway. There is a 96% success rate for people treated with these appliances.
