Options for Sleep Apnea Treatment Presented at Sleep for Life Event

Dr. Nadler spoke to participants about sleep apnea treatment with dental appliances.

Dr. Nadler was recently invited to give a lecture on Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) at the Somerset Medical Center. He was invited to speak by the medical team at Sleep For Life in Hillsborough, who organized the event in celebration of Sleep Technician Appreciation Week. All speakers presented options for sleep apnea treatment.

Over fifty people were in attendance at the event, including members the Somerset Snoozers Sleep Support Group, Sleep for Life sleep technicians, medical and office staff, Somerset Medical Center staff and invited doctors.

Dr. Nadler described the SomnoDent and Herbst dental appliances, used at Designs for Dental Health for sleep apnea treatment. He spoke about who could benefit from Oral Appliance Therapy and what features are important in choosing a dental appliance. After the presentations, event participants were able to view models of the appliances and ask Dr. Nadler questions about how they function and their use for OSA treatment.
