Dr. Tatro will meet with you to discuss your sleep study results and see if you are a good candidate for an oral appliance. A preliminary exam will be completed. Dr. Tatro will also explain what to expect with Oral Appliance therapy and review your recommended treatment plan and pricing with you. During your treatment with Dr. Tatro, she will send updates to your primary doctor along the way.
After treatment has been accepted, Dr. Tatro will perform a more in-depth exam, a panoramic radiograph of your teeth, and an intra-oral scan for your appliance. These are all neccessary steps before our lab can fabricate your custom appliance.
Dr. Tatro will deliver your appliance and instruct you on how to use it. You will also be given an at home sleep monitor so that she can verify that your new appliance is working to treat your OSA.
You may need to return periodically for titration assistance of your appliance and follow ups to assess how your appliance is working. Once we are happy with your results we will return you back to your primary doctor for continued monitoring of your OSA. You will see us periodically for maintenance of your appliance and if you have any concerns.
