The treatment landscape for obstructive sleep apnea is evolving. The FDA’s approval of Zepbound (tirzepatide) for OSA in adults with obesity has introduced a new treatment option.

While GLP-1–based therapies may benefit appropriate patients, oral appliance therapy continues to play an important role in managing sleep-disordered breathing.

What does this mean for oral appliance therapy and dental sleep medicine practices?

Our latest blog explores the evolving treatment landscape and what providers should consider.

Medical credentialing can be an important step for dental sleep medicine practices looking to work with medical insurance networks.

From understanding credentialing timelines and maintaining an accurate CAQH profile to deciding whether going in-network is the right choice, the process requires careful planning.

Each decision can affect a practice's administrative workflow, reimbursement opportunities, and long-term growth strategy.

Our latest blog explores timelines, CAQH, and the key factors involved in making an informed in-network decision.

Medical billing and dental billing are not the same—and treating them as interchangeable can create unnecessary challenges for dental sleep medicine practices.

From coding and documentation to payer requirements and claim submission, medical billing for oral appliance therapy often requires a different workflow and level of coordination.

A clear division of responsibilities between clinical and billing teams can help reduce errors & improve efficiency

What does the right division of labor look like? Our latest blog explores how dental sleep medicine practices can better manage medical and dental billing workflows.

Before taking an impression for oral appliance therapy, verifying a patient's benefits can help prevent costly surprises later in the treatment process.

Coverage, eligibility, deductibles, and other benefit requirements can vary by payer.

Confirming this information early helps practices set clear expectations, avoid unnecessary delays, and create a smoother experience.

Want to know what should be verified before moving forward with oral appliance therapy? Our latest blog explains completely.

E0486 claims can be denied even when a patient appears to meet the requirements for oral appliance therapy.

For dental sleep medicine practices, successful reimbursement depends on more than selecting the correct HCPCS code.

What documentation should be reviewed before submitting an E0486 claim?

Our latest blog breaks down common denial reasons and provides a practical checklist to help practices submit cleaner claims and improve reimbursement.

A child who seems unusually irritable, inattentive, or hyperactive may not simply be acting out. In some cases, these behaviors can be signs of an underlying sleep disorder.

Sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea, can affect a child's sleep quality, leading to daytime behavioral changes, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and learning challenges.

Our latest blog explores the connection between pediatric sleep disorders and behavior, the warning signs parents should watch for, and when it's time to seek professional evaluation.

Oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment for many patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but successful outcomes also depend on protecting long-term jaw health.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can occur in some patients undergoing oral appliance therapy, making comprehensive screening, individualized appliance design, and ongoing follow-up essential.

Research suggests that preventive strategies and early intervention can help minimize discomfort while supporting treatment adherence and clinical success.

Our latest blog explores evidence-based prevention strategies and best practices for improving patient outcomes.

Airway orthodontics is evolving beyond traditional teeth alignment to become an important part of comprehensive airway and sleep health management.

As awareness of the connection between craniofacial development, breathing, and sleep-disordered breathing continues to grow, more dental practices are integrating airway-focused evaluations into patient care.

Many adults believe they're getting far less sleep than they actually are—but objective sleep monitoring may tell a different story.

Recent research using actigraphy has shown that many adults tend to underestimate their sleep duration.

Factors such as stress, sleep quality, and nighttime awakenings can influence how we perceive our sleep, highlighting the value of objective assessments in understanding sleep health and supporting informed clinical decisions.

Our latest blog explores the research and its implications for improving sleep assessment and overall sleep health.
