Oral Appliance Consultation
Drs. Jaffari and Newaz have completed hundreds of hours of advanced education in the treatment of sleep related breathing disorders. Together they have treated thousands of patients that present with complex issues. Together they combine their varied experiences to give patients a top-down holistic treatment approach.
We begin with a thorough evaluation with an oral appliance consultation including:
Review of medical and dental history
Imaging- this may include a CBCT- Cone Beam CT, panoramic radiograph, and a full mouth series of x-rays
Impression- iTero digital scan
Photographs
STOP-BANG and Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Intra and Extra Oral Examination- including the teeth and oropharynx
After your evaluation, the doctors will discuss their findings with you and as a TEAM come up with the best treatment WITH you FOR you . This may include further referrals to medical specialists, dental/orthodontic procedures, or even Oral Appliance Therapy.
CPAP has less than a 50% compliance rate. Although it is the gold standard treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, the reality is patients do not use it as prescribed. Oral Appliance therapy has a similar overall effectiveness as CPAP in the treatment of OSA.
