It's estimated that more than 40 million adults in America have some form of sleep-disordered breathing, which is also known as obstructive sleep apnea or nocturnal hypoventilation. This condition is defined as long pauses in breathing or extremely shallow breathing during sleep due to compressed airways. It not only interferes with the quality of the patient's sleep, but is connected with other health problems as well such as fatigue, depression, headaches, diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, and more.

At Michigan Sleep Network, Dr. Daniel Burton and Dr. Matthew J. Vertin specialize in providing patients with customized oral appliance therapy as a better alternative to CPAP machines to help improve patient's breathing as they sleep. These oral appliances don't involve any wires or tubes like a CPAP machine, and simply prop the jaw open in the correct way to keep the airways open while the patient is sleeping.

About Michigan Sleep Network
Michigan Sleep Network was founded in order to improve nighttime breathing to patients struggling with sleep apnea. Today, Dr. Daniel Burton and Dr. Matthew Vertin operate two locations of Michigan Sleep Network in Grand Rapids and Dearborn Height to give local residents convenient access to dental sleep therapy.

Grand Rapids Dentist Dr. Daniel Burton helps patients look and feel their best with custom smile makeover procedures

Grand Rapids, MI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/29/2015 -- Dr. Daniel Burton is helping patients in Grand Rapids finally get the healthy, beautiful smiles they've always dreamed of having through customized smile makeover procedures, no matter the current state of the patient's oral health. He uses a unique combination of cosmetic and restorative procedures for each patient to give them a smile that they can be proud to show off.

A smile makeover not only ensures that the patient's oral health is in optimal condition, but it is also one of the best ways to improve self-esteem and confidence. Depending on the condition of the patient's teeth, Dr. Burton uses a unique combination of services such as dental crowns, dental implants, porcelain veneers, clear braces, aligners, and teeth whitening to give them a new smile that dramatically improves their overall appearance.

For patients who have crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth, Dr. Burton offers options for clear and removable aligners that give patients a much more comfortable and attractive orthodontic experience. These aligners are designed to provide the same result as conventional braces but allow patients more lifestyle flexibility during the treatment period.

Patients who only have minor gaps, crowding, or misalignment may be good candidates for porcelain crowns that can conceal minor cosmetic imperfections, as well as misshapen, chipped, discolored, or asymmetrical teeth. Porcelain veneers are extremely thin, yet durable shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth to create a new appearance.

Dental implants are the best solution available in the industry today to restore patient's smiles that have missing permanent teeth. Dental implants provide patients with the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth that blends seamlessly into their smile. Dental implants can be used effectively to replace a single missing tooth, a series of missing teeth, or entire top and bottom arches of missing teeth.

Grand Rapids, MI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/06/2015 -- It's estimated that as much as 80% of patients with sleep apnea are undiagnosed due to a lack of screening. Dr. Daniel Burton, dentist in Grand Rapids, MI recently launched the Michigan Sleep Network to help both patients and healthcare professionals become more educated about and find effective treatments for sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a disorder that involves significant pauses in breathing or instances of infrequent or shallow breathing during sleep. These pauses, or apneas, prevent normal brain function during sleep and also leads to carbon dioxide buildup in the bloodstream. Sleep apnea is most commonly diagnosed through a sleep study, where the patient is monitored by a physician while sleeping, and is often prescribed a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for treatment. Although CPAP devices are effective in treating sleep apnea, they can be inconvenient and uncomfortable, leading many patients to not use them as they should.

With the launch of the Michigan Sleep Network, Dr. Daniel Burton is hoping to increase awareness that other treatment options are available for sleep apnea besides a CPAP device. Michigan Sleep Network was established to screen patients for possible obstructive sleep apnea and to treat those diagnosed with a custom oral appliance that has been shown to be an extremely effective alternative therapy to CPAP.

Custom oral appliances like those designed at Michigan Sleep Network are made to eliminate the frustration and hassle of noisy, irritating CPAP machines. These oral appliances are best described as soft plastic trays that are small enough to fit in the mouth without feeling obtrusive. They are designed to each patient's mouth and bite in order to keep the airway open properly during sleep, preventing the pauses, or apneas, that are affecting their quality of sleep. Those who are treated properly for sleep apnea generally find that they have less fatigue throughout the day, achieve lower blood pressure, experience less moodiness, and even lose weight.

Dr. Burton offers a free consultation with each patient to determine if they are a good candidate for an oral appliance. He will also work with the patient's healthcare providers to ensure coordinated treatment for conditions related to their sleep apnea.
