Transforming Airway Health: From Childhood Development to Advanced Sleep Care
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often stems from dentofacial developmental deficiencies—placing dentistry at the forefront of treatment. The Breathing Wellness Summit equips dental professionals to identify these deficiencies, understand their impact on whole-body health, and integrate therapies that address the root causes of airway obstruction.
This two-part series connects healthy craniofacial growth in childhood to improved airway health across the lifespan. Participants will explore early intervention strategies, modern lifestyle impacts, and breakthrough non-surgical oral appliance therapy—while addressing related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, ADHD, allergies, and chronic fatigue.
Program Highlights:
✓ Palatal expansion, myofunctional therapy, and nasal breathing for healthy growth
✓ Understanding craniofacial development and lifestyle impacts on airway health
✓ Proven, non-surgical solutions to address the root causes of airway obstruction
✓ Practical strategies for integrating sleep medicine into dental care
Bring Proven Sleep & Airway Solutions Into Your Practice
The Breathing Wellness Summit webinar series gives dental professionals practical, ready-to-use strategies for improving patient outcomes and expanding the scope of care. You’ll gain confidence in implementing sleep medicine, learn to communicate its value to patients, and position your practice as a trusted resource for life-changing airway solutions—all without leaving your home or office.
This series is delivered as a pre-recorded webinar streamed live, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and get real-time guidance about treating sleep and airway in your practice.

Empowering Dentists to Treat Sleep Apnea with Confidence
The Introduction to Sleep and Airway Medicine course was a great way to get introduced to the Vivos Method. It provided a robust foundation for thinking about and understanding sleep apnea as a dentist. I started this course with limited knowledge about sleep dentistry but left feeling that I had the necessary tools to start treating patients the following week and found it invaluable to bring my staff to the course as they gained an understanding necessary to screen and talk to patient allowing our integration of the Vivos method to be seamless.

Growing Together to Transform Patient Care
I took my team to the Introduction to Sleep and Airway program last year and we had a great time learning and growing together! Each team member trained in their specific area. Before this, we’d only done airway screenings, but now we’re confidently screening and treating airway patients. It helped me see our patients as whole people—not just their teeth.

Guided Growth and Development: A Clinical Path to Healthier, Happier Children
Presented by Dr. Brian Kraft
In this session, Dr. Brian Kraft presents a series of real-world case studies that demonstrate the evaluation and management of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) in both pediatric and adult populations. Participants will follow the diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up processes used to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Through detailed analysis, the course emphasizes the integration of airway evaluation, oral appliance therapy, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Special attention is given to the importance of early identification and intervention in improving sleep quality, overall health, and patient quality of life.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Identify key diagnostic indicators of sleep-related breathing disorders in pediatric and adult patients.
Interpret sleep study data and correlate findings with clinical presentation.
Evaluate case-based treatment strategies, including oral appliance therapy and airway management techniques.
Apply interdisciplinary approaches to enhance treatment planning and patient outcomes.
Implement effective follow-up protocols to support long-term success and ongoing airway health.
Course Highlights
Clinical Case Reviews: Analysis of real patient cases illustrating SRBD diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
Evidence-Based Insights: Application of current research to clinical decision-making.
Oral Appliance Therapy: Guidance on selection, fitting, and adjustment for improved airway function.
Collaborative Care Models: Exploration of multidisciplinary strategies to support comprehensive treatment.
Long-Term Management: Best practices for patient follow-up, monitoring, and sustained care outcomes.

What Lies Beneath: Exploring the Phenotypes of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Presented by Dr. Kamran Fattah
In this session, Dr. Fattah examines how identifying the underlying phenotypes of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) can inform more precise and individualized treatment strategies. Participants will explore how anatomical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics contribute to variations in SRBD presentation and how to apply this knowledge in clinical practice. Through case-based examples, the course demonstrates how phenotype recognition supports targeted diagnosis, enhances interdisciplinary collaboration, and improves treatment predictability and patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Define and differentiate the primary phenotypes associated with sleep-related breathing disorders.
Recognize anatomical, neuromuscular, and arousal traits that influence SRBD presentation and severity.
Interpret clinical and diagnostic findings in the context of phenotypic patterns.
Apply phenotype-based principles to develop individualized treatment plans.
Integrate phenotype recognition into interdisciplinary care models to optimize patient outcomes.
Course Highlights
Phenotype Identification: Understand the core phenotypes of sleep-related breathing disorders and their clinical relevance.
Trait Recognition: Learn to identify anatomical, neuromuscular, and arousal characteristics that impact airway stability.
Case-Based Application: Review real-world examples demonstrating phenotype-guided diagnostic and treatment planning.
Personalized Therapy Design: Explore methods for tailoring oral appliance and adjunctive therapies to individual patient needs.
Collaborative Integration: Strengthen interdisciplinary communication and care coordination for improved long-term results.
