For physicians
Refer a patient for an oral appliance
You diagnose and you decide. When an oral appliance fits your patient's diagnosis, we make it and we tell you how it's going.
We are two general dentists. We don't diagnose sleep apnea, order sleep tests or change a treatment plan. We make and fit the appliance, check your patient's teeth, jaw and bite, and write to you after each step.
Where the line is
We don't diagnose sleep apnea
We don't order or read sleep tests
We write to you after the fitting and after each follow-up
A repeat sleep test stays your decision

Questions from physicians
Will you change my patient's treatment plan?
No. Treatment decisions, including whether to repeat a sleep test or try another therapy, are yours and your patient's.
What if my patient can't tolerate the appliance?
We tell you, with what we tried. You decide the next step.
Do you see patients who haven't had a sleep test?
For a screening visit, yes. We don't make an appliance without a diagnosis, and we'll write to you with your patient's permission.
How do you handle patients' records?
We keep records private and share them only as the law allows.
