What You Can Expect

Here at Brander Sleep Wellness,

After your initial consultation you would get a full work up. During this appointment Dr. Brander will complete a dental examination, including a determination of the current health and prognosis of oral tissue that might be effected by obstructive sleep apnea. We use a pharyngometer and rhinometer to measure the cross sectional distance of the airway and nasal cavity. This allows us to determine the accurate position of the lower jaw in order to effectively improve airway obstruction.

Follow-up appointments will be scheduled 1 week and 1 month after you begin wearing your oral appliance. Dr. Brander will determine if any adjustments need to be made to the oral appliance based on repeat testing and patient communication.

A follow- up sleep study would be conducted in order to ensure oral appliance therapy is improving your obstructive sleep apnea. We will communicate your oral appliance therapy progress with your Physician as needed.
