The Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Craniofacial Pain and TMJ

Dr. Bouzis has limited his practice to Sleep Disordered Breathing (Sleep Apnea) and Craniofacial Pain or TMJ. These disorders are related in that if you don’t sleep well you are more prone to chronic pain and those in pain don’t sleep well.

An individual with Sleep Apnea has a 68% increased chance of having a Stroke, a 58% increased chance of suffering from Depression and a 60% increased chance of having Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes. 20% of the population has Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Sleep Disturbed Breathing yet has no clue of its danger or existence because it remains 90% undiagnosed. Those with no Sleep Apnea and an AHI less than five have 96% chance of living another 18 years while those with an AHI over 30, placing them in the severe range of the disease, have less than a 60% chance of living another 18 years.

Treatment Options

CPAP: THERAPY THAT WORKS
BUT DIFFICULT TO WEAR

Many alternative therapies exists but PAP Therapy, if tolerated by the patient, remains the most effective treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). As such, Dr. Bouzis although specifically skilled in custom fit Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), in an attempt to best treat your disease has also been trained to deliver the Respironics line of Dream Wear - AutoPap -when prescribed by your medical provider. This allows us to better monitor the results of your therapy knowing when other options may be required.

ORAL APPLIANCES: THERAPY THAT CAN BE LESS EFFECTIVE BUT EASIER TO WEAR

There are over 150 Oral Appliances available as alternatives to PAP Therapy so after clinical exam Dr. Bouzis will suggest those options best suited to your needs. There are those cases where Combination Therapy (an Oral Appliance and an APAP) treats the disease more comfortably.
