Great Lakes Now Offers the Medley Sleep Appliance

TONAWANDA, N.Y. – Great Lakes Dental Technologies is pleased to offer the Medley Sleep Appliance for patients suffering from sleep apnea and nighttime snoring. The unique Medley appliance features a platform with dual configuration options that can accommodate different advancement mechanisms including; rigid nylon links, elastomeric (EMA) straps, or telescopic Herbst ®* rod sleeve arms. Medley offers personalized advancement options for ultimate patient comfort without treatment delays or the need for multiple appliances.

According to Robert Rogers, DMD, DABDSM, and inventor of the Medley, “The Medley Appliance serves the needs of a vast majority of my patients who suffer from sleep apnea and nighttime snoring. I have used this appliance almost exclusively for five years. I am also thrilled to partner with Great Lakes Dental Technologies as the sole laboratory to manufacture my sleep appliances for distribution in the United States and Canada.”

This versatile appliance offers three different design applications to treat a majority of patients. The Medley Rod Sleeve utilizes a “pushing” force, and the telescopic Herbst rod sleeve mechanism offers superior strength and firmer jaw positioning. The Medley Rigid Nylon Links utilizes a mandibular “pulling” force, and the nylon link material provides a more rigid, firmer advancement feel, and won’t deform. The Medley Elastomeric also utilizes a mandibular “pulling” force, but the subtle stretching characteristic of the elastomeric straps allows maximum comfort during advancement, making it ideal for patients with tender joints or loose teeth.

The contributors come from various backgrounds, Dentists and Sleep doctors who bring their unique backgrounds in cardiology, pediatrics, neurology, psychology as well as industry to their easy-to- read and relevant articles. In addition to providing education, DPS is deeply practical, providing tips on improving dental practice and incorporating Sleep Medicine knowledge. It even provides an opportunity for continuing educational credits!”

“In order to deliver a comprehensive treatment approach to sleep apnea, we must understand the numerous associated comorbid conditions, and we must appreciate the most viable and proven therapeutic alternatives. Having a periodical that includes a wide variety of topics spanning the breadth of medical and dental sleep medicine is an invaluable resource.”

Dr Alison Kole

“What I love most about Dental Sleep Practice (DSP) Magazine is its comprehensive approach to collaboration. DSP goes beyond the partnership between sleep specialists and dentists to include insights from various healthcare professionals, fostering a truly multidisciplinary approach. The magazine addresses disparities in care by highlighting the needs of underrepresented populations and advocating for more equitable treatment options. It constantly challenges traditional methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by showcasing the latest research and innovative therapies. Additionally, DSP offers valuable perspectives on the business aspects of sleep dentistry, providing practical advice on practice management. For me, DSP is an all-encompassing resource that supports and inspires professionals committed to advancing the field of sleep medicine and dentistry.”

Dr. Kevin Boyd

“I first became aware of Dental Sleep Practice when editor Steve Carstensen asked if he could interview me after hearing me speak at the AACP meeting in Austin in 2015. In the Winter 2016-DSP issue Steve composed a very informative article about how Dr. Janet Pannarella, my Primary Care General Practitioner (PCD-GP) partner and I had augmented my conventional Chicago Pedo practice into a Sleep and Airway health-focused office for children afflicted with non self-correcting early childhood malocclusion, or ECM (i.e., under six years old) with associated Sleep Disordered Breathing symptoms. The DSP article was entitled ‘Don’t Call it Orthodontics’ and was complementary to other articles Dr.s Mayoor Patel, Mark Cruz and others, that had all been keenly focused upon one basic principle: ‘As potentially associated negative QOL and general health co-morbidities can be devastating, please don’t wait for ECM to become more complex before initiating validated risk assessment, timely and effective orthodontic/dentofacial orthopedic treatments. Having DSP as a way to share new thinking is a valuable resource for all health care professionals.”
