What is DNA Appliance Therapy?

Traditional treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include dental devices that reposition the lower jaw to alleviate symptoms. These devices are worn for life and don’t address the etiological cause of your sleep apnea.
A DNA (daytime nighttime appliance) device is a superior approach for OSA that addresses the underlying cause. Instead of just repositioning the mandible, a DNA appliance stimulates bone growth and remodels the jaw to expand your dental arch and nasal passages. This 3D expansion optimizes your airway health—all while keeping the bite balanced. This can be especially helpful in growing children or for adults looking to address jaw alignment and airway-related issues.
Historically, arch development devices required full-time wear. However, patients can achieve comparable (if not better) outcomes by wearing a DNA device for 12-17 hours daily. The appliance is custom-fitted to your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit when sleeping.
What is mRNA Appliance Therapy?

An mRNA (mandibular repositioning nighttime appliance) device harnesses your body’s natural genetic makeup. It provides combined correction of the upper and lower jaw (combined maxilla-mandibular correction). Worn at night, this appliance repositions the mandible and gently encourages the redevelopment of the mid-face during sleep. The device also remodels the upper jaw, bringing your teeth into a more natural position.
What are the benefits of mRNA and DNA devices?
mRNA and DNA appliance therapy maximize epigenetic developmental mechanisms to develop drug-free, non-surgical solutions to airway-related issues.
Benefits of DNA and mRNA appliance therapy include:
- The devices are removable and don’t always need full-time wear
- Possible relief for headaches and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
- Expanded dental arch improves nasal breathing
- Better sleep quality
- Energy boost
- Improved facial development
- Long-term relief for sleep apnea and snoring
- No uncomfortable CPAPs for OSA treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a group of disorders that affect the jaw joints (TMJs) and surrounding musculature. Among its causes are poor occlusion and teeth grinding (bruxism). Tell-tale symptoms of TMD include headaches, jaw pain, clicks and pops when opening and closing your jaws. DNA appliances reposition the jaw, alleviating stress on the jaw joints. DNA appliances provide a holistic, noninvasive approach to managing and alleviating TMJ pain.
