How it works:

1. Schedule a screening at our office
2. If the screening indicates you are at risk for OSA, we will arrange a Home Sleep Test
3. Sleep in your own bed while the device monitors your sleep
4. Results from the test are downloaded and sent to a board-certified Sleep Physician for review and diagnosis
5. If the physician recommends Oral Appliance Therapy, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a custom device for you
6. After the device is made, it may require adjustments to ensure optimal airflow
7. A follow up home sleep test is used to verify the device is working as intended
