🕒 The time changed.
Their airway didn’t.

Daylight Saving disruptions can amplify symptoms of sleep apnea — especially in undiagnosed patients.

As dental professionals, you’re often the first to notice:
✔ Scalloped tongue
✔ Narrow arches
✔ Retrognathic profile
✔ TMJ discomfort

An oral sleep appliance can:
• Maintain airway patency
• Reduce apneic events
• Improve oxygen saturation
• Decrease parafunctional activity

This is your reminder to prioritize airway conversations in your practice.

👉 SML offers a variety of custom oral sleep appliances that support better breathing and better outcomes. Check them out now! smlglobal.com/obstructive-sleep-apnea-and-snoring

Sleep-Disordered Breathing From the Perspective of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
What Every Dental and Medical Specialist Should Know

Join Nicole Goldfarb as she explores the important connection between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs). Through compelling research and case studies, this session will highlight how OMDs can act as clinical markers for airway dysfunction, malocclusion, and impaired craniofacial development.

Learn how orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) plays a key role in the multidisciplinary management of SDB and why early identification and intervention are essential for improving patient outcomes and preventing long-term airway and orthodontic complications.
