Sleep Apnea and Snoring Diagnosis, Step by Step
We leave nothing to chance. Before deciding on treatment, we help you analyze your case and guide you through every step.
From Home Testing to Sleep Endoscopy: 5 Steps
Sleep apnea is diagnosed with a sleep study, which records your breathing and oxygen levels overnight; in many cases it is done in your own home. If you are considering an oral appliance or surgery, it is advisable to add sleep endoscopy before deciding. The questionnaires estimate your risk and the analyzer measures your snoring, but neither one diagnoses apnea.
AI Snore Analyzer
The analyzer measures your snoring, compares the tone and rhythm of your recording with four example sounds and can point towards its origin.
Consultation
In a consultation we go over your symptoms, what you want to achieve and the treatment options.
Sleep endoscopy: oral appliance (MAD) and surgery simulation
In sleep endoscopy (DISE) we simulate sleep with medication. We look for where the pharynx is obstructed and the pattern of collapse. We also simulate how well positional therapy and the mandibular advancement device (MAD) would work before you buy it. Finally, we determine whether you are a candidate for a pharyngoplasty or another surgery. We can also check whether not getting used to CPAP is due to an epiglottic trapdoor or pressures that are too low.
