Pediatric & Adult Treatment Process
How we are treating patients suffering from sleep breathing disorders:
Performing a comprehensive examination including evaluating the oral and airway anatomy to determine possible root causes of the sleep disorder.
Administering home sleep tests. The sleep test consists of a small device worn on the finger as a ring or on the forehead.
Receiving a Certified Board Sleep Physician’s diagnosis. Every home sleep test is reviewed by a Sleep Physician.
Teaching good nasal hygiene techniques, including breathing through the nose instead of the mouth.
Teaching correct tongue posture and providing a number of useful exercises, including effective Myofunctional exercises.
Utilizing patented FDA approved oral appliances to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Administering pediatric appliances to stimulate and promote proper growth and development of the upper and lower jaws as well as the floor of the nasal cavity which are FDA approved for straightening teeth.
The appliances have been shown to not only help keep the airway open during sleep but at the same time stimulate the permanent growth/development of the mid & low facial structures, which allows a permanent opening of the airway.
The adult appliances can also be used simultaneously with a CPAP, BiPAP, or AutoPAP for patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea.

What Our Patients Have To Say About Us
Sleep Apnea Dentist Hayden, ID
Do you wake up in the morning and still feel tired? Do you feel restless throughout the day, although you thought you got a full night of sleep? If this is the case, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a severe sleep disorder in which your breathing stops and starts throughout the night. Unfortunately, this can leave you feeling groggy and disoriented the next day rather than getting the restorative sleep you were after.
The symptoms of sleep apnea can have a negative affect on your daily life and will vary depending on the severity. Children will exhibit some of the same signs as adults but will also have behavioral problems. Just Breathe DDS offers permanent solutions to help you breathe better and sleep better at night. Our treatment will allow you or your child to live a more full life without having to rely on caffeine or medications.
