The Pacific Sleep Clinic is dedicated to helping you improve your breathing.
Unhealthy sleep and sleep deprivation are linked to heart disease, depression, obesity and lower life expectancy. Seventy million people suffer from chronic, severe sleep disorders in the United States alone. These include difficulties sleeping at night, problems with excessive daytime sleepiness, or other medical problems that may occur or be exacerbated by problems with sleep.
We work to improve coordination among the various specialties involved in treating patients with sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnea, pediatric sleep, parasomnias, snoring, and other sleep issues.
Our clinic collaborates with the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, an internationally renowned sleep center recognized for outstanding patient care and innovative sleep medicine research.
Sleep Clinic Process
American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM)-certified faculty who are experts in dental sleep medicine will provide comprehensive exam and treatment.
We work with physicians who can conduct sleep studies for our patients. Based on the results of the sleep study, the physician will make a recommendation for an oral sleep appliance.
At the Pacific Sleep Clinic, our patients undergo 3D X-rays and intraoral scans from which their oral sleep appliances are custom designed and fabricated.
Service Types Provided
- Oral appliance therapy (mandibular advancement devices) for mild-moderate OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) for adult patients
- Orthodontic growth modification for adolescent patients with OSA
- Rapid palatal expansion (RPE), mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE)
- Surgical orthodontics (DOME: distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion) in collaboration with sleep surgeons

Payment
Most medical plans offer coverage for sleep treatment, and we will work with your insurance providers and help you access your medical insurance benefits. We also accept Medicare and Kaiser health insurance plans.
