Description:

While dentists have had a wide variety of oral airway appliances to choose from, these devices do not address the underlying cause of SDB. The Homeoblock appliance is a unique mono-block appliance that stimulates remodeling of the maxilla, tones the muscles supporting the airway and down-regulates the autonomic nervous system. Because it is a signaling appliance that treats the contributing factors to SDB, it is beneficial in treating a wide range of patients and does not require a diagnosis of Sleep Apnea.

Learning Objectives:

1. The prevalence of SDB 2. The health consequences of SDB 3. How to spot the oral signs of SDB 4. How the Homeoblock helps treat SDB
