Your hectic lifestyle can lead to ADHD symptoms – no attention span, irritability, etc. But those symptoms might also be the result of a misaligned jaw, leading to terrible sleep (and snoring!) Call Millennium Smiles (972-987-4899) and find out!
Research indicates that 90 percent of sleep apnea cases go undiagnosed - which is pretty remarkable when you consider the fact that you stop breathing hundreds of times a night: how do you not notice that?!!
Millennium Smiles, a 5-star, full-service dental and implant clinic based in Frisco, now offers children and adults diagnoses and treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, arising out of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. The associated symptoms that manifest in everyday life - irritability, hyperactivity, difficulty paying attention - are often confused for ADHD, a misdiagnosis often referred to as ‘pseudo ADHD.’ Chronically sleep-deprived individuals - especially children and teens - are often diagnosed with ADHD when the real problem stems from a sleep disorder.

The clinic now provides oral appliance therapy for all patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where the muscles and tissues in the back of your throat relax and collapse your airway during sleep - when airflow is completely blocked, you temporarily stop breathing before waking up.
Traditionally, OSA has been treated by CPAP (continuous air pressure) devices, effective but notoriously uncomfortable solutions that treat sleep apnea’s symptoms. The sleep apnea oral appliances market - a relatively new one - is expected to grow at over 16% annually through the end of the decade, as primary healthcare providers increasingly recognize the importance of treating the underlying issue of temporomandibular joint health in their patients. To receive treatment, you will need an initial diagnosis, which typically requires observation in a sleep lab.
There are many FDA-approved models available at Millennium Smiles, each with a unique design suited to solve a particular issue. These devices fit over your teeth like an orthodontic retainer to support your jaw and keep the airway open for normal breathing. Millennium Smiles will take a mold of your teeth to have the appliance custom fitted for a more comfortable experience and improved long-term results.
The clinic, led by Dr. Dunia Korous, also offers a complete range of dental and orthodontic services, including periodontal treatment, Invisalign braces, teeth whitening, and dental implants. Dr. Korous has a Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantology and is a member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of General Dentistry.
