Treatment Options

We offer many non-surgical treatments customized to fit each patient's needs.

PERMANENT AIRWAY GROWTH

At Breathing and Sleep Center of Colorado Springs, we diagnose and treat breathing and sleep disorders caused by airway restriction due to underdeveloped jaws. Our team of trained, experienced dentists offer non-surgical treatments that allow our patients to restore and regain their sleep and quality of life.

We identify the root cause and treat it rather than offering relief for the visible symptoms. Our treatment plans are carefully developed to be a permanent solution for our patients.

NIGHTLASE

“Fotona’s NightLase® therapy is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.

A full course of NightLase consists of three separate treatment sessions over a six week period. The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to a year, and the therapy can be repeated.

Patients find NightLase to be a highly comfortable and satisfying solution. NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatment. It’s a gentle and easy way for your patients to regain a good night’s rest.”

MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY

At the Breathing and Sleep Center of Colorado Springs we have an experienced, passionate Myofunctional Therapist who helps patients, from children to seniors, improve jaw function.

Myofunctional therapy targets TMD (temporomandibular disorders), myofacial, and related health conditions, which can result from an underdeveloped or weak jaw, along with oral habits like tongue thrusting or thumb sucking. In addition, babies may be born with anatomical issues of the face, mouth or jaw, which cause them to suffer orofacial myofunctional disorders. Myofunctional therapy includes exercises, treatments and oral appliances to correct tongue, lip or jaw positioning problems that occur when resting, speaking, chewing or swallowing. Customized myofunctional treatments can improve and/or correct a wide variety of issues!
