No, airVata workflow is designed to fit into existing Dental workflow

When a patient has snoring, clenching, grinding, clicking or popping jaw joints or even wants to sleep better, do better in school/sports, the patient qualifies to receive an airVata. The patient then completes screening forms such as STOP BANG and EPWORTH forms. This provides you the documentation and hints to help you identify the problem you are solving. To get fitted for an airvata experiences 3D digital impressions.

The Lab needs an upper/lower and specified bite. You are instructed how to get the best result and instructions on the bite in your certification training. The ongoing case reviews and training refreshers help to know how to adjust what kind of bite to take with various types of patients. Lab turnaround time is no more than 2 weeks.

For now, it just talks about snoring for compliance purposes.

This is where the majority of the discussions lie.  Many times apnea patients cannot tolerate devices because it wakes up dormant TMD.  When you have a patient with active TMD, airVata allows healing and provides support as an orthotic - also helping to prevent the jaw from falling back at night. Underlying airway issues are often a causative agent of TMD.  This is where the training goes into detail with protocols and use applications.  The case reviews teach the process in detail.
