technology

Advances in oral appliance design and associated technology has steadily progressed over the past 20 years.  Dr. Rogers and Mary Beth Rogers were there from the early going and are well versed in the state-of-the-art.  The appliances and screening/titration monitors in use at Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine represent those that have been well researched and documented to produce positive results for our patients. 

All appliances and devices are FDA approved. 

Oral Appliances

Unlike most offices that use a single appliance, Dr. Rogers uses several different oral appliances, choosing the one that is best for you. The choice of oral appliance is made after a through medical history and oral examination. While he most often uses the TAP appliance but are quite familiar with many other appliances if and when they may be indicated.  The TAP appliance is one of the leading appliances in use today backed by scientific research.  It is comfortable to use, easy to adjust and very effective for treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Screeners / Titration Devices

The Remmers Sleep Recorder (RSR) is routinely utilized to monitor the effectiveness of the jaw position during trial procedures of the oral appliance.  The RSR measures snoring, breathing, blood oxygen, heart rate, pulse, tooth grinding, body position and leg movements.  Use of this device allows us to accurately set the oral appliance to the proper therapeutic jaw position prior to the final assessment in the sleep lab.
