​

Sleep evaluation for oral appliance therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
 

Dr. Buchanan is a TMJ and orofacial pain specialist who will work with you to ensure your jaw remains healthy while using a mandibular stabilization appliance.  She will review your sleep study with you, show you samples of the most current appliances,  and discuss your sleep history and treatments for sleep-disordered breathing.  She will examine your mouth and jaw to determine if you are a candidate for oral appliance therapy.  
 

The program includes the custom-fabricated appliance, digital impressions, a 50-minute delivery appointment, multiple 30-minute follow-up visits, and a home sleep titration test.  Fabrication of the appliance takes about 3-6 weeks. Once the appliance effectively treats your sleep apnea, you will return to your sleep medicine specialist for evaluation.  Yearly follow-up appointments are recommended to ensure the appliance is still working and your jaw is healthy.
