💤 3D Sleep Webinar Series – #9 – When Good Appliances Go Wrong: Troubleshooting Your Way to Better Outcomes

We’re pleased to continue the 3D Sleep Webinar Series – a monthly program focused on helping dental teams strengthen their confidence, enhance communication, and deliver improved outcomes in dental sleep medicine.

Join us on Monday 21st September for the ninth episode in our Waking Up to Sleep Webinar Series:

Even with the right patient, the right appliance and a well-planned treatment pathway, oral appliance therapy doesn’t always go exactly as expected. So, what do you do when things don’t go to plan?

In this practical webinar, Dr Ken Lee will explore some of the common challenges clinicians encounter during oral appliance therapy, from fit and comfort issues to titration, side effects, compliance and patients who simply aren’t achieving the expected results.

What you will learn:

  • How to recognise when oral appliance therapy isn’t progressing as expected.
  • How to troubleshoot common appliance fit, comfort and retention issues.
  • What to consider when a patient’s symptoms aren’t improving despite treatment.
  • How to approach titration when you’re not achieving the desired response.
  • How to identify and manage common side effects, including jaw discomfort and bite changes.
  • What to do when patient compliance becomes a barrier to treatment success.
  • When to adjust the appliance, reconsider the treatment approach, or refer back to the wider sleep team.
  • How to use follow-up and ongoing monitoring to achieve better long-term outcomes.

Dr Ken Lee will share practical troubleshooting strategies and real-world clinical insights to help you approach challenging cases with greater confidence.

Dr Lee is a clinician in dental sleep medicine with a Master of Dentistry and Fellowship examination in Dental Sleep Medicine in Australia. As Clinical Director at SleepWise Clinic, he focuses exclusively on airway health and works closely with Sleep Physicians and ENTs to deliver evidence-based treatment for snoring and sleep apnoea.
