For Pulmonologists

As a pulmonologist, your goal is to provide the best possible care for your patients, especially those dealing with sleep apnea. We offer custom oral appliances designed to address sleep apnea effectively while providing patients with a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments. Partnering with us allows you to expand your treatment options and better meet the unique needs of your patients.

Why Choose Custom Oral Appliances?

Custom oral appliances are an innovative solution for managing sleep apnea. Unlike CPAP therapy or surgical interventions, these appliances are compact, easy to use, and highly customizable to fit the specific anatomy of each patient. Here’s why they’re an excellent addition to your pulmonology practice:

#1: Increased Patient Compliance

Many patients find CPAP machines uncomfortable or difficult to use, leading to poor adherence. Custom oral appliances are discreet, portable, and easy to wear, resulting in higher compliance rates. This means your patients are more likely to stick with their treatment and experience improved outcomes.

#2: Effective Treatment for Mild to Moderate Sleep Apnea

Studies have shown that oral appliances are highly effective for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. By repositioning the jaw to keep the airway open, these devices can significantly reduce apneic episodes, helping your patients achieve restful sleep.

#3: Non-Invasive and Reversible

Unlike surgical interventions, custom oral appliances are a non-invasive solution. They offer a reversible option for patients who may not be ready or suitable for more aggressive treatments.

#4: Complementary to CPAP Therapy

For patients who cannot tolerate CPAP, or in cases where CPAP alone is not enough, oral appliances can serve as a standalone therapy or be used in combination with CPAP to optimize outcomes.

Custom oral appliances can enhance your practice by offering an effective, patient-friendly alternative to traditional therapies, improving satisfaction, and positioning your practice as a leader in sleep apnea care.

    I am prescribing a Mandibular Advancement Device (E0486 or K1027) for the above-named patient who has been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (G47.33).

    I concur that the recommended therapy is medically necessary, and I now prescribe treatment, utilizing an FDA approved Mandibular Advancement Device. Length of need is lifetime. I strongly urge you to cover the costs of this therapy. Failure to do so would place the patient’s health in jeopardy.
