Can You Cure TMJ Disorder & Sleep Apnea?
Every day, millions of people suffer from air way problem, sleep apnea, snoring, headaches, and jaw pain. An estimated one of every 15 American suffer with sleep apnea, which is a chronic condition that is characterized by snoring, periodic breathing interruption, snort, and chokes.

WHAT IS A DNA ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE?
DNA Appliance® stands for Daytime-Nighttime appliance. This orthodontic appliance, an FDA regulated biomimetic oral appliance, is a revolutionary custom-made, removable, and adjustable dental appliance that is used to gradually correct and reshape misshapen craniofacial structures in children, teens, and adults.
DNA appliance is based on the concept of Pneumopedics®, which is a process of gradually and non-surgically increasing volume of nasal airways by expanding the size of the upper jaw. The 3D expansion increases the size and volume of the nasal passageways, mouth, and facial and ultimately helps patients to cosmetically benefit from facial feature balancing.
SMALL MOUTH = No Space for Tongue, Poor Breathing, Poor Posture
The DNA Appliance work by widening the upper arch and the nasal passage, allowing more airflow to pass through. As the upper arch is widened, the lower jaw enlarges and moves forward into a more natural position. As the lower jaw moves forwards, it increase the size of the airway and dramatically improve patient’s ability to breath because tongue and soft tissue move forward with lower jaw forward movement.
UNDERSTANDING mRNA APPLIANCE
The mandibular Repositioning Nighttime Appliance (mRNA) is an oral device that provide combined maxilla-mandibular corrections while utilizing biomimetic principles. Worn at night, mRNA allows the body to reposition the mandible (lower jaw) for better breathing and redevelop the mid-face; it also helps to redevelop the upper airway by stimulating the upper jaw to grow and shifting teeth into a more natural position.
BENEFITS OF TREATMENT WITH ORTHODONTIC DNA & mRNA APPLIANCES
Also known as Daytime Nighttime Appliance®, DNA appliances harness pain-free, natural, non-surgical, epigenetic developmental mechanisms to effectively improve the following conditions with No need for noisy CPAP machine, No surgery, No drugs, or No injections.
- Improve sleep & increase energy
- An orthodontic method to Straighten crooked or crowded teeth,
- Balancing the bite and diminishing migraine headache
- Adjust palate depth and width,
- Improve facial development,
- Eliminate and relieve jaw pain from TMD (Temporomandibular dysfunction) & TMJ disorders
- Enhance the upper airway & Better breathing ability
- Long-term relief from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring
- Can be effective in children for upper arch expansion
- Stimulate bone growth, allowing permanent results
The DNA Appliance will not only help you sleep better, but also it helps you breath better, smile better, and look better
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DNA & CONVENTIONAL ORAL APPLIANCES
Conventional oral appliances improve snoring and sleep apnea in the short term. They keep the airway open by holding the mouth slightly open and pushing lower jaw forward. Conventional oral appliance must be worn for life because they just treat the symptoms; however, DNA appliances not only treat the symptoms, but also permanently treat the underlying issues causing sleep apnea and snoring.
Historically, dental arch development in adults was difficult because arch development appliance required 24/7 wear to be effective. With DNA appliance, a patient can achieve outstanding result wearing the appliance 12-17 hours per day.
Unlike rapid palatal expansion (RFE), DNA appliance is slow and steady arch development.
