Since the mid 90s, Dr. Rich has been working with clients struggling
with sleep apnea and other airway disorders. Working in conjunction
with primary care physicians, sleep specialists, and other providers,
Dr. Rich participates in helping clients with airway issues through
the fabrication of custom oral appliances.
Dr.
Rich uses state-of-the-art computerized diagnostic equipment to
help her determine the best design of the appliance. She then utilizes
a take-home sleep monitoring device to evaluate the performance
of the appliance in comparison to the original sleep study and other
diagnostic information.
For some people, these appliances alone can improve their apnea
conditions, and for others, the appliance can be used in conjunction
with a C-Pap machine to help make the machine more effective at
a lower, more comfortable setting.
