Eric W. had been diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea. We placed him in Airway Remodeling System for 18 months. After his treatment, Eric expanded his airway by over 55%. His apnea level has been reduced to almost zero. He can breathe and sleep way better. We are thrilled that we were able to improve Eric’s quality of life.
Airway remodeling is an innovative approach for patients who is intolerable to CPAP. The Airway Remodeling System, DNA appliance, is an alternative solution for patients who have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. It is an epigenetic orthodontic technique that activates the individuals’ natural genes to correct the underdeveloped craniofacial complex. The DNA appliance is comfortable, practical, small, and discreet. The result is a dramatic improvement in the patient’s ability to breathe.

Success Story | Eric Williams reduced his Apnea level to almost Zero.
If you’re in the 65-plus age group, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has probably changed how you interact with the people you care about. Social distancing and self-quarantine may be limiting your exposure to infection. But if you're like millions of people nationwide, it’s also limiting your social interactions and increasing your loneliness and feeling of isolation.
The end result is a real health concern. According to a nationwide study, even before the pandemic hit, an estimated 25% of adults over 65 were socially isolated. But now that number is likely much higher with stay-at-home orders.
Even as states begin to reopen, you may need to remain quarantined to safeguard your health or the health of someone you live with. Watching friends and family reconnect and enjoy each other’s company while you remain sidelined at home can increase your feelings of loneliness if you can’t join in.
Loneliness and isolation can lead to serious health challenges if left unresolved. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they can cause:
Increased rates of anxiety, suicide and depression
• Four times the risk of premature death
• 50% increase in dementia
• 29% increase in heart disease
• 32% increase in stroke
Virtual contact may not replace a hug or holding a small hand in yours, but it can help you stay in touch with your loved ones while protecting your health and theirs. Facetime allows you to see their faces and surroundings while you chat. Add Zoom to the mix and you can get the whole family involved.

Dentist groups disagree with WHO recommendation to postpone routine visits.
A few dental associations around the country disagree with the WHO’s guidance to delay trips to the dentist if numbers of COVID-19 cases are high in the area.
The California Dental Association and American Dental Association say they “strongly disagree” with the WHO’s guidance this month that routine, non-essential dentist visits, including check-ups, cleaning and preventive care, should be delayed.
The ADA agreed last week that healthy mouths are important to a person’s overall condition but “respectfully yet strongly” disagreed with the WHO’s recommendation, saying dentistry is essential health care.
“Oral health is integral to overall health.” ADA President Dr. Chad P. Gehani said in statement. “Dentistry is essential health care because of its role in evaluating, diagnosing, preventing or treating oral diseases, which can affect systemic health.”
Dr. David Kimberly with the Ohio Dental Association agrees that routine visits can be important to find other issues that show in the mouth, from diabetes to some cancers and liver illnesses.
Dentists have been practicing infection control since the HIV crisis of the ‘80s. We were wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) before we knew it was called PPE," Boeke said. "We've been practicing this kind of disinfection for 25-30 years, so this is nothing new for us.

Patient can develop airway, breathing and TMJ disorder at any stage of life. Every patient in our practice is screened for TMJ and sleep breathing disorder for the fundamental factor for both oral and overall health.
Gorman Health & Wellness is pleased and humbled to gain a wonderful compliment from great patient(s).
There is an array of causes for TMJ such as jaw injury, dental surgery, teeth grinding, arthritis, auto-immune disease, and infections.
The most common cause is due to orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontists pull healthy teeth to straighten crowded teeth. This leads to decreasing the size of the mouth, leaving little room for the tongue. This causes the tongue to stay in the back of the mouth, close to the throat, making it obstruct the airway when sleeping.
When you have difficulty breathing at night, you react by clenching or grinding your teeth. Overtime, this can lead to TMJ pain.
Snoring is much more of a social disease.
It is estimated that 30-40% of couple sleep in separate bedrooms due to snoring. According the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study found that 44% of all men surveyed and 28% woman are habitual snorers.
Snoring is a sign that there is something wrong with your breathing and it is a risk indicator for Sleep Apnea.
Sleep apnea that goes untreated can lead to a wide range of issues. People living with the condition who do not receive prompt treatment are at a higher risk of experiencing several different health-related problems. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2I83112

Can TMJ go away on its own?
Unfortunately, TMJ cannot go away on its own. It can be treated with medications, bite guards, or even jaw surgery.
There is also a natural and a non-invasive approach in treating TMJ. A oral dental expanding appliance therapy with the help and guidance of a TMJ specialist.
An oral expanding dental therapy appliance is designed to alleviate the pain, eliminate the jaw discomfort, to provide optimal joint function, stabili zejaw position, and normalize muscle activity.
TMJ pain left untreated can lead to sleep disturbance and insomnia. Bodily distress due to TMJ pain and lack of sleep can possibly be life-threatening.
Imagine not having to use a CPAP or BiPAP machine, having a greater quality of life, a great night's sleep along with the benefits of being able to breathe better. Schedule a free $500 consultation with Dr. Gorman today! Learn more: https://bit.ly/37bXpx1

What is Airway Remodeling?
It is an epigenetic technique that activates an individual's natural gene to correct the underdeveloped craniofacial complex.
A revolutionary approach by harnessing the body's natural ability for self-correction.
An orthodontic-orthopedic- pneumopedic, DNA appliance, is worn like an orthotic retainer that enhances oral and dental health. The DNA appliance gently and painlessly expands the upper and lower jaw in 3-dimension to slowly increase the size of maxilla, gradually widens the floor of the sinus and progressively enlarges the size of the airways.
A dramatic improvement can be seen in less than a year. The patient is still in treatment, and out of pain and sleeping better.
