00:00:03.453 --> 00:00:06.369
I'm doctor David Binder

00:00:06.927 --> 00:00:14.086
Dentist don't normally save lives; treating sleep apnea, I believe

00:00:14.487 --> 00:00:15.373
can save your life.

00:00:17.068 --> 00:00:18.575
I've saved lives

00:00:18.941 --> 00:00:20.291
with a hunk of plastic

00:00:21.233 --> 00:00:23.286
that just moves your jaw forward.

00:00:23.426 --> 00:00:28.209
Snoring can be the first sign that there is a problem.

00:00:28.688 --> 00:00:31.429
There are links between sleep apnea,

00:00:32.118 --> 00:00:33.284
heart disease,

00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:34.596
high blood pressure,

00:00:34.936 --> 00:00:36.075
memory loss,

00:00:36.563 --> 00:00:37.702
diabetes,

00:00:37.832 --> 00:00:39.812
and even new links to cancer.

00:00:40.509 --> 00:00:47.199
Everybody is a candidate for the appliance, or I should say, most people are candidates for the appliance. I spend a lot of time

00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:55.727
with my patients. After they get the appliance, adjusting that plastic, picking the right plastic for them

00:00:55.971 --> 00:01:05.852
and moving their jaw forward and talking to them. How they are feeling, how they are sleeping, making their life and lives better.  It's a craft

00:01:06.383 --> 00:01:07.295
and it's an art

00:01:07.512 --> 00:01:09.736
and it's a science. 

00:01:09.971 --> 00:01:13.333
And those three things need to be blended together

00:01:13.856 --> 00:01:15.731
to treat a person

00:01:15.991 --> 00:01:18.910
and that person should be in the center of

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:21.917
your efforts.

00:01:22.273 --> 00:01:27.852
What are we talking about on oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea

00:01:27.992 --> 00:01:39.731
this is the device or one of the devices that were are talking about. It's a retainer that's worn on the upper ... during sleep and the retainer

00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:43.941
is worn on the lower during sleep. And how they relate to each other

00:01:44.201 --> 00:01:50.652
pulls the lower jaw forward, pulling your tongue forward indirectly and opening your airway.

00:01:51,349 --> 00:02:01,889
with the Matrix, we're going to know that the appliances going to work for you. It's a motor that attaches to the test

00:02:02,029 --> 00:02:06,291
oral appliance and it's going to gently and slowly

00:02:06,431 --> 00:02:17,252
move your jaw out during a sleep study so you will be able to see in real time out those micro movements affect your sleep and your breathing

00:02:17,372 --> 00:02:25,555
from the sleep doctor's point of view, they would like to know, because they know they comparing it to CPAP

00:02:25.737 --> 00:02:30.735
they like to see, and I don't blame them, that this is going to work for their patients.

00:02:31.582 --> 00:02:33.177
I care about the patients.

00:02:33.498 --> 00:02:36.746
That how I set up to practice. Today I'm set up

00:02:37.366 --> 00:02:41.752
with a staff that will treat

00:02:42.152 --> 00:02:51.516
and help help me treat my patients with all the follow-ups, the insertions, to make sure the appliance is working for the patient.

00:02:52.101 --> 00:03:03.224
Patients have given me the joy of knowing that they feel so much better, that they are sleeping so much better.

00:03:03.668 --> 00:03:05.385
They call me the love doctor.

00:03:05.978 --> 00:03:06.636
That's  funny,

00:03:07.501 --> 00:03:09.769
you make noise or you move around in your bed

00:03:10.134 --> 00:03:10.845
um ... 

00:03:11.071 --> 00:03:12.552
no one is going to want to sleep with you.

00:03:12.917 --> 00:03:15.544
(snoring)  Welcome

00:03:15.691 --> 00:03:16.343
to 

00:03:16.483 --> 00:03:20.076
my world folks.   

00:03:21.422 --> 00:03:24.836
So put the oral appliance, again my hunk of plastic,  

00:03:25.071 --> 00:03:30.647
it works. You can create marriage, you can save a marriage.  And you can save a life.
