For years, Mandibular Advancement Devices have been the “go to” sleep appliance in dentistry. While highly effective in treating the symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), they do nothing to address the root cause. In addition, side effects such as TMJ pain and changes in occlusion, are relatively common with continued use. Discover how the Homeoblock, an epigenetic appliance created by Dr. Ted Belfor, has the ability to treat the underlying causes of SDB.

With it’s unique uniblock design, the appliance: Stimulates remodeling of the maxilla through the introduction of light cyclical forces Strengthens the muscles supporting the airway by promoting proper tongue function calms the Autonomic Nervous System by stimulating the Vagus nerve

One of the biggest obstacles dentists encounter in implementing an airway program, is that current educational models focus primarily on clinical information. Dentists return to their practices, frustrated because they are unable to implement what they have learned.

After years of studying with the leaders in Airway, Dr. Ingo Mahn finally developed an easy to implement workflow that makes screening, record taking, diagnosis and treatment as easy as doing clear aligner therapy. He strongly believes in a Win-Win model that results in the improvement of the patient’s health as well as the creation of a profit center for the practice.

Objectives:

• To introduce dentists to a way of treating SDB breathing that goes beyond mandibular advancement.
• Recognizing the oral signs and symptoms of SDB and understanding that a large percentage of our patients are in desperate need of our help.
• To show doctors a system that allows them to treat these patients in a way that requires minimal chair time on the part of the dentist.
• Understanding that, if done properly, treating SDB results in huge health benefits for patients and is highly profitable for the practice.
