What is MATRx?
MATRx is leading edge, highly accurate sleep test that provides new options to effectively treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a MATRx test can determine, with accuracy, if your sleep apnea can be effectively treated with an oral appliance.
How MATRx Works
MATRx Tray Fitting
- Your physician refers you to a Sleep Dentist
- You will be fit with temporary dental trays for the MATRx Study
The MATRx Titration Study
- The Sleep Tech inserts your trays and prepares you for your MATRx study night
- The Sleep Tech monitors your sleeping patterns and waits until periods of apnea occur
- While you sleep, your jaw is moved forward remotely, in very small increments, until your sleep apnea is treated
Physician Interprets the MATRx Study
- The Sleep Physician decides if you are a good candidate for oral appliance therapy
- You are referred to a sleep dentist with a prescription for oral appliance therapy which includes the jaw position for effective treatment
Sleep Dentist & The Oral Appliance
- The Sleep Dentist has your custom oral appliance made at the jaw position prescribed by the sleep physician
- You return to the dental office to have your custom appliance fit
The Oral Appliance at Night Time
- Wear your oral appliance and get a good night sleep!
