KEY OPINION LEADER CONVERSATION : NEXT GEN DEVICES MAKE OAT EASIER
“ I Love the New Precision Engineered Finesse ”
From mono-block to dorsal design devices , he has used ( and admittedly redesigned and abused ) just about every appliance ever made . Today Dr . Seltzer is more excited than ever because of the Next Generation of sleep devices he is using and sees on the horizon .
“ The next gen designs have true precision engineering onboard , they are not just milled or printed . Manual manufacturing leaves room for inaccuracies that we should not tolerate . For example , when I first saw the ProSomnus ® MicrO 2
® and [ IA ] platforms , I thought , it was just another dorsal . I could not get my arms around it . I loved the materials and hygiene from a patient perspective , but I wanted to be able to work in tenths of millimeters and the 0.5-1.0mm advancements in the [ IA ] platform were too large for some patients . The ProSomnus ® [ CA ] allows me to do that and has bilaterally symmetrical titration . That can be a big deal for a TMD patient . Having both sides aligned and advancing the mandible intentionally is important .
ProSomnus ® [ IA ] Iterative Advancement
ProSomnus ® [ CA ] Continuous Advancement

Long Island Dental Sleep Medicine focuses on the patient experience and the physician referral . Outcomes and comfort for patients help determine the appliance selection . Successful stories , when they return to the referring doctor , drive their practice and growth .
“ Gina Pepitone-Mattiello , our Sleep Hygienist , my partner Dr . Jeffrey S . Rein , as well as our highly trained support staff , led by Office Manager Karen Coiro , and I have created an incredible team approach to treating OSA . Maximizing the patient experience with great service , small titrations and easy to clean appliances with less side effects , results in better stories when the patient returns to their Physician . In the end , that matters a lot .
ProSomnus gives us versatility in design , retention and the individualization we need . They are not the only company we work with , but their innovation and modern thinking are a fresh alternative . They listen ! I have some ideas to improve the George Gauge and make it more three dimensional and to work with ProSomnus to get PDAC to change its archaic guidelines .
If anyone can do that , it will be these folks ! They are committed to Dental Sleep and our success .”
