HOUSTON, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. has announced its plans to host a private lecture and reception for orthodontic specialists in Brighton during the British Orthodontic Conference.

AcceleDent is a simple, removable dental device that patients place in the mouth for twenty minutes daily. It produces a gentle vibrational force which enhances the pressure applied by braces. AcceleDent has been clinically proven to safely speed up orthodontic tooth movement. The product is hands-free and allows the user flexibility to carry out most routine tasks during use.

For the past year, AcceleDent has been available to select orthodontic specialists in the United Kingdom, where it was introduced last year through a limited market release program. Mike Kaufman, VP Marketing and Business Development at OrthoAccel, commented, "this reception will serve as an excellent opportunity for peer-to-peer interaction. It will allow doctor users who have experience over the past twelve months to share their observations and impressions to interested doctors who are seeking to bring this exciting new technology into their offices now."

Dr Sharon Orton-Gibbs at Walpole Specialists, in Surbiton, is being featured as the main speaker. Kaufman noted, "we also see the reception as an occasion to reinforce the scientific evidence that has been developed in support of the AcceleDent System as an important enhancement to any orthodontic treatment. We look forward to Dr. Orton-Gibbs sharing several of her clinical cases, as well as a summary of other scientific studies that have been completed to date." The reception will be held in the Regent Room at the Grand Brighton Hotel. There is limited availability at the reception and OrthoAccel is directing interested doctors to its Stand #41 in Hewison Hall onsite at the BOC, where tickets will be available. Alternatively, doctors can RSVP in advance through the Company's website.

The event is being held on the evening prior to another important event for OrthoAccel – its first annual User's Group meeting, which is being planned as a breakfast on Monday 20 September. "What better resource for information about our product than the small group of doctors who have actually been using it in their cases over the past year," explained Kaufman. "We get excited about stories of patients who are having a positive AcceleDent experience, but in the spirit of continuous improvement, we also want to hear suggestions for how we can better improve both the product and our Company."

One of those happy patients is under the care of Dr. Asif Chatoo at The London Lingual Orthodontic Clinic. A 25 year old patient has started her treatment with AcceleDent this past February and is very excited by the considerable tooth movement she has seen in just a few short months. This AcceleDent user reported, "The prospect of faster treatment is very important to me. I use AcceleDent just before going to bed while watching TV or reading a book. After the first week I hardly felt the vibrations and find AcceleDent quite comfortable and easy to use. The system shows that I have been nearly 90% compliant."

"We are specifically interested in what tools we can develop that will most effectively allow doctors and staff to educate their patients on this new science, technology, and product," continued Kaufman. The Company just completed the development of an innovative, new display stand to complement its educational waiting room brochures.

OrthoAccel is anticipating the conclusion of another US clinical trial at the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio with a target completion date later in 2010. In the meantime, the Company has identified Europe as a strategic market of major importance, with a specific focus on the United Kingdom.

"Payne and Fred were friends and colleagues whom I worked with and greatly admired for more than 30 years," mentioned Dr Warren Johnson. "The Blue Raider Athletic Association and the Primary Care and Hope Clinic are both very worthy community programs in need of our support in Murfreesboro."

All proceeds raised from the event provide scholarships for MTSU athletes and benefit programs at the Primary Care and Hope Clinic. This year more than $29,000 was raised from sponsors, not including the totals raised from the registration fees.

Warren Johnson further stated, "It's been a pleasure being a major sponsor of the run since its inception 7 years ago. It is an annual event the whole family can enjoy from kids to grandparents."

This year's run had a "Super Hero" theme and Dr. Johnson won the award for "Best Superhero Business Costume" as well as the award for "Most Participants from a Business". Dr. Johnson's team consisted of 20 participants made up of his family, his staff, and their children.

Candy Buy Back Program Sponsored For Second Year by Savage Orthodontists

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:21:16 +0000

Halloween candy donated by Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth's patients during her annual candy buy back program will be shipped to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, September 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lakeville and Savage orthodontics practice, will once again conduct its annual Halloween candy buy-back program in October.

This is the second year that the Savage orthodontists at Cosmopolitan have held the program, which is designed to encourage young patients to donate candies that could be harmful to their orthodontic treatment to American soldiers serving overseas.

"Offering the buy-back program accomplishes a couple of things for us," said Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, an Eagan and Savage orthodontist, who opened Cosmopolitan Orthodontics in 2009. "It removes the temptation for patients to eat sticky, chewy candies that can damage their braces, and it gives us an opportunity to show our soldiers that we are thinking of them and that we appreciate the sacrifices they make to keep us free."

Candies such as caramels, taffies and other chewy sweets can damage orthodontic appliances, said the Savage braces provider. They can break or bend wires, pull brackets off of teeth, and damage fixed retainers.

In an effort to include her staff in the contest, Eisenhuth's employees must guess how much candy will be donated by patients this year. Last year's contest resulted in close to 800 pounds of candy being collected and sent to troops.

"As is the case every year we've held this program, our generous patients wind up donating candy to our soldiers that they actually could have kept for themselves because it was safe to eat with braces, Eisenhuth said. "When they learn where the candy goes, they tend to get more generous with their donations."

Eisenhuth's patients are rewarded for their giving nature. For every pound of candy each patient donates, they receive tokens that can be used to acquire items such as gift cards and toys.

Patients who want to donate during this year's program may do so at either Cosmopolitan Orthodontics location on Nov. 1, between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Then it will be shipped- along with toothbrushes- to soldiers in Iraq.

"We wouldn't feel right giving them candy and missing the opportunity to promote good oral health," said the Savage Invisalign expert. "We like to share the message that it's OK to have candy, but it's important to brush after eating sugary sweets, especially if they are chewy, because those tend to stick to your teeth longer."

Low Carbs Cause Bad Breath, Flower Mound Dentistry Provider Explains

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:10:52 +0000

Flower Mound, TX dentist Dr. Jonathan Golab discusses how low-carb diets can lead to bad breath.

FLOWER MOUND, TX, September 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eating good foods and decreasing carbohydrate intake are good ways to take care of yourself. But, Flower Mound dentist Dr. Jonathan Golab notes that eliminating carbs can cause bad breath.

"Ketones are the problem," explains Dr. Golab, a Flower Mound teeth whitening provider. "When the body burns fat, instead of carbohydrates, for energy, it creates ketones. Eating primarily foods high in protein can also help produce smelly sulfur compounds in the mouth."

This type of bad breath isn't primarily a dental health problem, but you can improve the smell with a couple of small steps. "You can drink more water, chew sugarless gum, or munch parsley," suggests Dr. Golab, a Flower Mound dental care provider. "Step up your dental hygiene by brushing and flossing following every meal. Use a tongue scraper (your toothbrush can provide the service) and try "Closys II" rinse, which can be found in drug stores.

The theory underlying low-carb diets is actually cutting out refined sugars, such as those in candy, soda, sweets, bread, pasta, and starchy foods such as potatoes and corn. "Consuming fruits and vegetables (yes, vegetables are carbs) keeps carbs in your diet in a healthy way," says Dr. Golab, a Flower Mound dentist. "Your brain needs carbohydrates to function effectively. Just make sure you eat the right kinds."

Sacramento, CA: What is the Best Sleep Apnea Treatment? Snoring May Be a Sign of a Serious Life Threatening Disease. Majority of Patients Quit CPAP!

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:14:01 +0000

CPAP is considered the gold standard for sleep apnea treatment but poor compliance issues with CPAP often make oral appliances the best sleep apnea treatment. For the morbidly obese patient, CPAP is the best first line treatment.

GURNEE, IL, September 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What is the best sleep apnea treatment? It is not CPAP, according to a recent study that showed 60% of patients abandon CPAP use. At least it is not the best treatment for the 60% of patients who abandoned it. This does not mean CPAP is not the most effective treatment; what it means is no matter how effective a treatment may be, it is a poor treatment if it is not used. Oral appliances are an extremely effective treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea but less effective for morbidly obese patients and those with severe sleep apnea.

Oral appliances are the best sleep apnea treatment because patients actually use them. Compliance issues have always been the biggest problem with CPAP. Studies have shown most patients quit CPAP completely but even patients who use CPAP average only 4-5 hours/night, 4-5 nights a week. That is not the best treatment but it is better than no treatment. The best site for information on oral appliance therapy and dental sleep medicine is http://www.ihatecpap.com.

Medicare recognized how poor CPAP compliance was and now has minimum usage schedules for CPAP that will save Medicare millions of dollars because such a small percentage of patients actually utilize their machines on a regular basis.

CPAP is the "best treatment" for the 25% of patients who love their CPAP, and use it all night, every night.

Oral appliances may be less effective across a range of patients at eliminating sleep apnea but they are much more effective at achieving patient compliance. A treatment that is used will always be superior to a treatment that is not used.

Oral appliance success can be greatly improved by titration of appliances in the sleep lab. When an appliance eliminates sleep apnea based on a sleep study it is effectively equivalent to CPAP. The issue of compliance almost always favors oral appliances but objective monitors for oral appliance use are not yet available. They probably will be available in the very near future making oral appliances a leading choice of sleep medicine physicians who care about patients desires.

The best treatment is one that works and is used. For most patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea the best treatment is an oral appliance due to much higher compliance. If compliance is equal and CPAP or appliances are equally effective than both would qualify as the best treatment. The patient can chose their desired treatment. Studies have shown the majority of patients offered a choice prefer a comfortable oral appliance over CPAP.

Some severe sleep apnea patients refuse CPAP, for those patients an oral appliance is superior to "no treatment".

CPAP is almost always the best treatment for the morbidly obese patients but an oral appliance is still better than no treatment if CPAP is refused.

There are patients who are severe and/or morbidly obese and the "best treatment" is actually a combination treatment of an oral appliance and CPAP combined. A mask retained by the teeth instead of straps may be considerably more comfortable for many patients and lower pressure from combined use makes CPAP easier to tolerate.

The best treatment may be CPAP but with a custom made nasal mask that is made from an impression of the patient's face, similar to how dentures are made. Custom masks combined with oral appliances are a new entry in the field coming from airway management.

Cleanliness is of major importance with both CPAP and oral appliance treatments. Dirty masks and hoses can lead to sinus infections, bronchitis and pneumonia while poor oral hygiene with an oral appliance can lead to periodontal disease. Dr Shapira advises all patients to keep their masks and hoses scrupulously clean. It is vital to be just as thorough in cleaning oral appliances and in maintaining oral hygiene care when wearing an oral appliance. They are not well suited for patients who do not regularly brush their teeth.

What is the best CPAP mask for patients who utilize CPAP? Studies have shown that different masks and machines usually do not increase patient compliance but they do increase comfort for patients who actually use CPAP. Other studies have shown that patients' usage of CPAP initially predicts long term compliance with CPAP. Patients who reject CPAP initially rarely embrace CPAP use in the long term. What is the best CPAP mask? A mask the patient actually uses. This will be very patient specific.

What is the best type of CPAP machine? There is standard CPAP machines that come in many styles and shapes. The industry has done a good job of making CPAP machines quieter and smaller. BiPAP machines have lower pressure during expiration that reduces claustrophobic feelings in some patients and often eliminates the sensation of drowning on air. Ramping is a gradual increase in pressure allowing patients to fall asleep prior to pressure increasing. Humidification and heated hoses are also increasing patient comfort. Unfortunately all of these advances have not been shown to increase overall patient compliance.

Servo-ventilation machines are more efficient and effective in treating central sleep apnea, which is a neurological condition where the brain "forgets" to breathe.

The best sleep apnea treatment is always patient specific. The 60% of patients who do not tolerate CPAP will likely find comfortable oral appliances are the best treatment.

A small minority of patients do not tolerate CPAP or oral appliances. The best treatment for these patients may be surgery.

What is the best sleep apnea surgery? The morbidly obese and extremely severe sleep apneics may find that a tracheotomy is the best treatment. Patients breathe through their throat bypassing the pharyngeal blockages. Most patients do not want a trach.

Soft palate surgery is almost never the best sleep apnea treatment. UP3 or Uvulopalatopharyngealplasty is painful and has very high morbidity but more importantly rarely eliminates sleep apnea and patients still require CPAP or oral appliance therapy. Pillars, somnoplasty, LAUP or laser-assisted uvuloplasty are less painful but still ineffective in treating most apnea patients completely.

Maxilo mandibular advancement is extremely effective but is major surgery where the upper jaw (maxilla) is cut loose from the skull and often split in pieces, the lower jaw (mandible) is sectioned into 3 pieces and the hyoid bone is sectioned in pieces and then the patient is wired shut for six weeks. This surgery is often very successful. A geniohyoid surgery is less invasive only splitting the lower jaw in pieces and advancing the chin and tongue. While it is effective in patients with severely recessed lower jaws (weak chin) in most patients it is the "Jay Leno" surgery, creating his unique profile.

For severely obese patients with severe sleep apnea bariatric surgery may be the best sleep apnea treatment.

It is also possible to do several tongue reduction surgeries that vary in effectiveness. Dr Shapira suggests that patients attempt CPAP and/or oral appliances before considering surgery. Patients with blocked nasal airways frequently improve with partial turbinectomies and correction of deviated septums but while helpful this will usually not eliminate sleep apnea.

Dr Shapira reminds patients of the famous quote: "There is no disease or disorder known to man that can't be made worse by sticking a knife in it." This does not mean to avoid surgery, cautions Dr Shapira, but rather to approach any surgery with caution and consider the possible problems associated with surgery.

Information on the dangers of sleep apnea, sleep apnea treatment and comfortable oral appliances is available at http://www.ihatecpap.com.
