Dental Sleep Medicine Testimonials
 "I see patients every day with sleep apnea symptoms – snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and high blood pressure. When the Academy of Sleep Medicine asked me to start routinely screening for this potentially life threatening condition I was excited with the prospect of being able to help people with sleep apnea, literally translated 'sleep suffocation.'
"My team and I went through intensive training and our office became certified to treat patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Oral Appliance Therapy.
"I knew that I snored, and my wife told me that she routinely had to wake me up to either stop snoring or to start breathing! I decided to become the practice’s first dental sleep medicine patient. In addition to habitual snoring, I also was being treated for high blood pressure and relied on caffeine to recharge my batteries throughout the day.
"Within a couple of days my wife told me she slept great – I didn’t wake her up with snoring or gasping! Not only do I feel better rested but my blood pressure has dropped down to near normal levels.
"Oral appliance therapy has been a great treatment for my sleep apnea. I look forward to helping more of my patients experience the life changing effects of this therapy!”
- Dr. Timothy J. Kitzmiller
"Outstanding and immediate results! I haven’t snored once since getting my oral appliance and my apnea has improved dramatically. It took very little time (a few nights) to get used to wearing the appliance and I haven’t slept without it since the day I got it. It’s simple and it works. Don’t even bother with the other alternatives!"

"I can’t thank you enough for making me aware of the TAP appliance (my wife thanks you even more). For the first time in years I am sleeping soundly and feeling healthier when I wake up and in turn have more energy. You literally saved my life because the CPAP machine was not working for me. Thanks again."

"I have been 'CPAP-less' since being fitted for my oral appliance. I enjoy a very restful night's sleep with minimal snoring. I also enjoy the ease that my oral appliance supports my personal and business travel. My wife also supports and endorses my oral appliance after 3+ years of CPAP in our bedroom!! Thank you for treating my sleep apnea with a simple, but effective oral appliance!!"

"I have had problems with sleep apnea for years. I did a sleep study and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I was fitted with a CPAP machine…it worked great when I was able to wear it, but I was pulling it off in the night because the pressure was really uncomfortable. Most nights my wife would go sleep in another bedroom because my snoring was keeping her awake.
"Dr. Tim is a friend of mine and a few months ago told me about how he felt great now that he had his snoring and sleep apnea under control. I was out of options and decided to try the oral appliance.
"After just a few days my wife said that she didn’t hear me snoring! I now wake up with energy to go to the gym in the morning and overall just feel better! I couldn’t believe the results of my at home monitoring sleep test when I reviewed them with Dr. Tim- I am spending twice as much time getting quality sleep, what little snoring I do is very quiet, and my nighttime 'suffocation' is minimal…I went from severe apnea levels down to barely mild! This is great stuff. Thanks, Doc!"

"CPAP became burdensome and uncomfortable due to how it 'rained'. This appliance is convenient and effective. It is so much easier to clean and pack for vacation!"
