Dr. Dean Tyrer of Tyrer Dental Care recently returned from a craniofacial dental conference in Salt Lake City. The conference was a three day study of epigenetic orthodontics which helps patients with sleep apnea.

"Many patients struggle with CPAP machines for the treatment of sleep apnea," says Dr. Tyrer.

Tyrer Dental Care now offers an alternative treatment using oral devices to open the patient's airway and, in some cases, remodel the palate and mandible permanently. This research was introduced by Dr. G. Dave Singh who originally treated children with cleft palates. The Center for Sleep Medicine now recognizes an oral device as the treatment of choice in mild and moderate sleep apnea patients. In severe cases, it may be recommended to use a combination of the CPAP machine and an oral device.
