At the TMJ & Dental Sleep Solutions of New Orleans, we are dedicated to addressing sleep disorders with advanced technology and expertise. Dr. Duane Delaune leads the way in screening and managing patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition that hinders oxygen flow during sleep, causing frequent awakenings.
As the prevalence of OSA diagnoses increases, Dr. Delaune is committed to finding innovative, efficient, and personalized treatment methods. This dedication to excellence is why we are excited to offer three groundbreaking technologies: at-home sleep tests, 3D printed oral appliances, and digital impressions. These tools enable us to provide precise, tailored treatment, reinforcing our position at the forefront of OSA therapy.
At the TMJ & Dental Sleep Solutions of New Orleans, we understand the importance of accurate sleep disorder diagnosis and offer advanced solutions to make this process more comfortable and convenient. Dr. Duane Delaune provides an innovative alternative to traditional in-lab sleep tests with at-home sleep testing. This method allows you to monitor your sleep patterns in your own environment, ensuring a more natural and comfortable testing experience.
After completing the at-home sleep test, the data is evaluated by a certified sleep physician who can diagnose your disorder and recommend an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Gone are the days of uncomfortable putty impressions. At our center, we utilize cutting-edge digital scanners to capture precise impressions of your smile. This non-invasive, pain-free technology eliminates the need for physical impressions, offering a gag-free and more comfortable experience. Digital impressions enhance efficiency, accuracy, and reduce treatment time, providing an improved experience for our patients.
While CPAP devices are a common treatment for sleep apnea, many find them cumbersome and intrusive. As an alternative, we offer custom-designed oral appliances. These devices work by gently shifting the jaw forward, keeping the airway open during sleep. Utilizing digital impressions, we create personalized oral appliances right in our office, employing advanced CAD/CAM technology for precision manufacturing.
3D-printed oral appliances offer numerous advantages over traditional lab-made devices, including being more comfortable, acrylic-free, BPA-free, smaller, lightweight, and durable. If oral appliance therapy is suitable for you, we can customize and prepare your device in as little as two weeks.
