Orthodontic Strategies for Sleep ApneaA comprehensive airway management and sleep apnea program



What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is emerging as one of the most

widespread and costly health issues in the U.S. OSA is known to

affect more than 18 million Americans, including men, women, and

children. Studies show that OSA carries a strong genetic component

and in some cases can be hereditary.* The disease is characterized by

upper airway obstruction, associated with repeated gaps in breathing

and interrupted sleep. People with obstructive sleep apnea are at

serious risk of the below medical problems and accidents:

• Stroke*

• Heart Attack*

• Obesity*

• Diabetes*

• Motor Vehicle Accidents*

• Up to 20% of adults and 10% of children suffer from sleep apnea*

• Children with sleep breathing disorders can also suffer from behavioralproblems and lower IQ*

• 85% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed*

• The estimated US economic cost of OSA is more than $65 billion*

Did You Know?

What are leading orthodontists saying about sleep apnea?“The mounting body of evidence connecting serious health disorders to sleep apnea points to the

necessity of making the treatment of this condition a standard of care in all orthodontic practices.”

Dr. Ron Redmond

“Newly developed technologies and scientifically validated protocols now enable orthodontists

to effectively treat people with sleep apnea.”

Dr. David Paquette

“The peer-reviewed literature makes it abundantly clear that untreated sleep-disordered breathing

is at best, seriously debilitating and costly to the healthcare system, and at worst, life threatening.”

Dr. Paul Damon



An Orthodontic ApproachThis course will provide you with an understanding of the physiology of sleep apnea and the current diagnostic and

treatment options, as well as a new orthodontic approach and its protocols. The orthodontic approach is intended to

provide patients with immediate relief from OSA, as well as changes to the airway that may address an underlying

cause. We will demonstrate innovative technologies and convenient, cost effective processes to improve the diagnostic

and treatment experience for patients of all ages. This program is the first-of-its-kind in the orthodontic industry,

and includes a complete, evidence-based system to implement into your practice. In our program, we provide

support every step of the way.
