Dr. Tracy Davidian is bringing revolutionary sleep treatments to the Triangle. Dr. Davidian uses state-of-the-art technology to treat snoring and sleep apnea.
Sleep disorders are a bigger problem than most people think. Disorders like sleep apnea disrupt more than just a good night’s sleep and hard day’s work. Over time, it’s a risk factor for heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions.
Oral Appliance Therapy
Oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A custom-fit oral sleep appliance can improve your sleep, restore your alertness and revitalize your health.
Worn only during sleep, an oral appliance fits like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer. It supports the jaw in a forward position to help maintain an open upper airway.
Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Dr. Davidian’s Approach
Dr. Davidian uses state-of-the-art technology to treat your sleep apnea. Carolina TMJ & Facial Pain Center puts a patient’s physiology into the equation. Dr Davidian, a Fellow in Neuromuscular Dentistry, uses a K-7 Evaluation system in order to capture a positive physiologic position of a patient’s lower jaw. This position is then transferred to the patient’s night appliance.
The Physiologic Night Appliance is worn during sleep to move the lower jaw forward, thus keeping the airway open and allowing for normal breathing.
Dr. Davidian customizes these devices to each patient, resulting in superior comfort and quality.
