Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Disordered Breathing – Episode 18: Get a Gasp with Gina Pepitone-Mattiello

January 29, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

On today’s episode of the “Get a Gasp” podcast, Gina Pepitone-Mattiello looks at another form of therapy for sleep disordered breathing for adults called oral appliance therapy.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • How oral appliance therapy works
  • The steps involved in getting an oral device
  • Determining the best mandible position for the patient
  • The possible side effects of oral devices

 

Quotes:

 

“Wearing these oral devices actually brings the lower jaw forward opening up the airway.”

 

“Oral devices can be made by any dentist.”

 

“They are fabricated in medical device laboratories.”

 

“For me, it worked like a dream, and I definitely do discuss it with a lot of patients.”

 

“You can have a little bit of a bite change, a bite shift.”

 

“Getting oxygen trumps…having the perfect bite.”

 

“I’d rather be alive with not perfect teeth than, I hate to say it, not be alive with perfect, beautiful teeth.”

 

“Oral devices, I think they’re wonderful. They’ve basically saved my husband’s life and our marriage.”
