121 - Dr. Steve Carstensen - A Deep Dive on Oral Appliance Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea Stories

Emma is joined by Dr. Steve Carstensen, a dentist and dental sleep medicine educator/trailblazer.

In this episode:

• Steve talks about how he first discovered oral appliance therapy and got interested in the field of sleep-disordered breathing.

• The type of patients Steve has seen do really well with oral appliance therapy in his practice.

• Emma asks Steve whether there is a place for an interim, non-custom appliance such as over-the-counter 'boil and bite' devices or the myTAP from Airway Management.

• How to find a well-trained dentist to make a custom oral appliance.

• Steve talks about the work he is doing to identify kids with airway issues so they can receive treatment earlier to prevent health problems like sleep apnea later in life.

• Steve's Dental Sleep Practice magazine and how it can help dentists get involved with dental sleep medicine training.
