Following the latest announcement, Millennium Smiles provides FDA-approved OSA appliances that are specially fitted for patients’ unique bites. After the initial consultation, the dentist performs a full CBCT scan of the patient’s mouth and airway. This scan is then analyzed to determine the most suitable treatment plan for their condition and to create the mold for their personalized OSA appliance.
Over the past two decades, the number of Americans with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has seen a substantial increase, with about 26% of adults and 1 in 4 children suffering from the condition. OSA is often linked to issues of chronic pain, as the obstructions in the mouth and airway that cause OSA can also lead to frequent headaches, shoulder and neck pain, and muscle spasms which also make sleeping uncomfortable and difficult.
To treat OSA, Millennium Smiles uses Vivos appliance therapy, which improves patients’ breathing over a 12 to 24-month period. This technique is considered to be a breakthrough in OSA treatment because it expands the airway and makes more room in the mouth, nasal passages, and throat to eliminate breathing obstructions permanently. Millennium Smiles specializes in Vivos appliance therapy because it is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment option for OSA patients that improves sleep and mitigates chronic pain due to a lack of oxygen intake.
