Before patients seek treatment for sleep apnea/snoring or other sleep disorders from their dentist. It is advised that they rule out the potential presence of other associated medical conditions from a medical licensed physician knowledgeable in sleep disorder medicine. Patients requiring dental appliance therapy as part of their treatment with sleep related disorders should include dentists as a part of the multidisciplinary team approach with the patient's physician taking the lead, including the timing of the placement of the necessary appliance. However, if the patient's snoringis solely related to an anatomical abnormality of the oral facial complex, an appropriately trained dentist can safely provide appliance on his or her on.
