Why Does Dr. Seifi Focus on Sleep Apnea Treatment?
When you wake up feeling exhausted after a rough night's sleep, do you think about calling your dentist? For most people, that answer is no because the idea of going to your dentist to improve your sleep quality sounds odd. After all, a dentist only helps you fix your teeth, right?
Well, you may be surprised to know that you
should
be talking to your dentist about your sleep! That's because, in addition to your dental health, many dentists
also
address snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. There are a few good reasons for this:
In simple terms, obstructive sleep apnea is caused by your jaws and palate affecting the shape of your airway. When the dentist asks you to say "ahh" or takes X-rays during your routine checkups, they can see if you show any of the physical signs that could indicate sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea can be treated with oral appliance therapy. An oral appliance is a device that goes in your mouth and repositions your tongue and jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. So even though you need a specialist to diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea, you need a dentist to create the custom oral appliances to treat them.
Dr. Maryam Seifi is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), a national organization that helps dentists get the education and training they need to provide oral appliance therapy. She decided to join this organization because she cares about you, not just your teeth. Dr. Seifi knows that consistent, high-quality sleep is the cornerstone of a healthy life, and she wants her patients to thrive in all areas of their lives.
After all, what's the point of a beautiful smile if you're too exhausted to show it off?

Dr. Seifi's Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment
It's no exaggeration that sleep apnea can seriously reduce your quality of life. If left untreated, it can lead to dangerous medical issues such as high blood pressure, liver problems, Type 2 diabetes, and even heart attack or stroke. But on immediate terms, it affects your ability to get restful sleep right now!
If you have ever suffered a sleepless night when you had to be awake or productive the next day, you understand how important sleep is for a healthy and happy life. Now imagine if that wasn't just one night, but every night, and you'll see why Dr. Seifi is so passionate about helping her patients solve this problem!
Dr. Maryam Seifi founded Breath of Life Dental (BOLD) with the express purpose of helping those in our community who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Although she cannot officially diagnose you, she is experienced in early detection and treatment. In fact, your dentist may be the first one to notice the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea during your routine checkups.
Once you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, Dr. Seifi will work with you to develop an
oral appliance therapy treatment plan. She will take the time to explain your options and answer any questions you may have about the treatment so you can be confident that you're taking the right step toward improving your health and wellbeing.
If you are concerned about your sleep quality and think you may have a sleep disorder, Dr. Seifi offers thorough screenings and consultations to discuss your symptoms. If needed, she will advise you on how to get an official diagnosis from a sleep specialist.
You can also
take our helpful self-assessment, which is a quick and easy way to check if you may be dealing with sleep apnea.
Why Does Dr. Seifi Like the Vivos System?
Dr. Maryam Seifi often recommends the Vivos System because she has seen the life-changing results it has brought to her patients. Instead of using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, which can only treat the symptoms of sleep apnea, the Vivos System is used to repair the underlying causes of obstructive sleep apnea. It's also a lot more comfortable than a CPAP machine and does not make any noise, which is extremely helpful if you are a light sleeper!
Even patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea have seen incredible results using this system, which is why Dr. Seifi was so determined to bring this amazing technology to Maryland.
The best part is that the Vivos System works in patients of all ages—even children! If your child is suffering from sleep apnea, this incredible technology can gently and safely correct the physical causes (such as non-optimum jaw position or a small palate, which can cause a narrow airway).
Dr. Seifi loves using the Vivos System because it is a nonsurgical and permanent solution which can drastically improve your child's quality of life—in
more ways than you might think!
And if you currently use a CPAP machine but would like to switch to oral appliance therapy, call our office to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Seifi!
