2019 AAO Annual Session - Sleep Apnea in a Busy Orthodontic Office

Incorporating the management of sleep apnea in our orthodontic office is more than just a business opportunity, it is a responsibility we have as healthcare providers. Fortunately, to incorporate risk assessment for sleep disturbances in both children and adults, as well as evaluate the airway through imaging, is not something that would interfere with day-to-day activities, as busy and filled as they may be already. This presentation will show how an orthodontist can get started and offer such life changing services to their existing and new patients.

Learning Objectives:

• Perform sleep apnea risk assessment in your office.
• Perform reliable 3D airway analysis.
• Comprehend how different treatment modalities affect the airway.
