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.

How Did We Get Here? The Origins of Sleep
Presented by Dr. Ben Miraglia
Healthy craniofacial development in children supports airway function, dental alignment, and overall well-being. Early intervention can have lasting benefits by addressing factors that affect airway health.
This segment explores craniofacial growth and how targeted therapies—palatal expansion, myofunctional therapy, and nasal breathing—can positively shape a child’s health.
Program Highlights:
✓ Palatal Expansion: Improve airway, facial growth, and reduce crowding, snoring, and sleep-related breathing issues.
✓ Myofunctional Therapy: Support growth and airway health through exercises for tongue posture, swallowing, and lip seal.
✓ Nasal Breathing: Enhance development, oxygenation, and overall health by promoting this essential habit.
Dental teams will learn to identify growth patterns, intervene early, and provide therapies that support healthy development during formative years.

The Paradigm Shift: Looking Beyond the Mouth
Presented by Dr. Jon Caulfield
Sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome, affect millions and compromise sleep, health, and quality of life.
A breakthrough treatment—novel oral appliance therapy—addresses the root causes of airway obstruction. By combining midfacial redevelopment with mandibular correction, it remodels the upper airway non-surgically. Backed by over 50 published studies, this therapy improves breathing, sleep, and overall health.
Program Highlights:
✓ Craniofacial Growth: Understand normal development and its impact on airway health.
✓ Modern Lifestyles: See how lifestyle factors disrupt growth and contribute to disorders.
✓ Nasal Breathing: Identify clues of compromised nasal breathing and its systemic effects.
✓ Dentist’s Role: Learn how to positively influence anatomy and physiology for better outcomes.
✓ Integrating Sleep Medicine: Transform patient care and elevate your practice.
This program equips dental teams to address sleep-related breathing disorders with proven, team-based solutions that improve patient lives and practice success.
