The primary treatment on the market for decades has been CPAP, an apparatus worn at night over the mouth that forces air past the tongue obstruction. Loud and uncomfortable, CPAP is not an ideal solution for many patients. Dentists can develop and prescribe a mouth appliance or orthotic, which is an alternative treatment to hold the jaw in position, allowing for the tongue a place to rest out of the airway. Dr. Mingus’ Facial Growth treatment performs the same function as the orthotic, only on a permanent basis. By growing the jaw to its full genetic potential and developing the airway fully, the tongue rests out of the way, allowing for free breathing at night.
