Our Detroit TMJ and sleep practice uses computerized jaw tracking and precise muscle measurements. These tools guide the development of a treatment plan and an appliance built for your unique anatomy. The result: better sleep, better health, and lasting relief without bulky CPAP equipment.

What Is the Sleep Apnea Precision Approach™?

Obstructive sleep apnea has a primary cause: the airway narrows during sleep. The Sleep Apnea Precision Approach™ targets those causes directly.

There is no generic solution here. Advanced diagnostic technology evaluates your:

  • Airway anatomy
  • Jaw position
  • Muscle function
  • Breathing patterns

With this data, Dr. Haddad designs a custom oral appliance that supports a healthier airway all night. Computerized jaw tracking and functional analysis guide every stage of care. Your treatment is comfortable, effective, and built around you.

The Challenges of Traditional Sleep Apnea Treatment

CPAP works by pushing air through the airway to keep it open. But a treatment only works if you actually use it. Many patients cannot use CPAP night after night.

For many Detroit-area patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is a more practical choice.

CPAP Challenges and Compliance Issues

Patients struggle with CPAP for many reasons:

  • An uncomfortable mask worn all night
  • Dry mouth, stuffy nose, and irritation
  • Machine noise that disrupts sleep
  • Bulky equipment that is hard to travel with

Some patients use CPAP inconsistently. Others quit entirely. Either way, their sleep apnea goes untreated, and their health risks grow.

How the Sleep Apnea Precision Approach™ Works

Advanced diagnostics plus personalized planning. That combination improves airway function and supports long-term success. Here is the process:

Step 1: Comprehensive Airway Evaluation

Every treatment starts with a detailed look at your airway and jaw. Using digital technology, Dr. Haddad evaluates:

  • The structure and position of your upper and lower jaws
  • Tongue posture and soft tissue anatomy
  • Muscle activity and jaw function
  • How jaw position affects airway stability

These measurements reveal what is driving your sleep-disordered breathing. They also guide your treatment plan.

Step 2: Customized Oral Appliance Therapy

Once we find your ideal jaw position, we build your appliance around it. Unlike generic sleep apnea mouthguards, these appliances are:

  • Designed for a precise, individual fit
  • Engineered to support the right jaw and tongue position
  • Comfortable enough to wear every night
  • Easy to clean and travel with

The appliance holds your airway open during sleep. Less airway collapse means healthier breathing all night.

Step 3: Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Treatment does not end when you receive your appliance. Dr. Haddad works with you to keep it performing well over time. This may include:

  • Routine follow-up visits
  • Adjustments for comfort and effectiveness
  • Tracking your symptom improvement
  • Working with sleep physicians when more testing is needed

This support helps you get the best results and keep them.
