Dentist Wailuku, Maui, HI, Dr. Michael Miyamoto from the Miyamoto Dental Design Suite.Dr. Michael Miyamoto, dentist and owner of the Miyamoto Dental Design Suite in Wailuku, HI, informs the public about the dangers of sleep apnea and highlights the benefits of a dental device known as sleep apnea oral appliance for sleep apnea patients in Maui, HI and nearby areas on the island.
Sleep apnea is a serious condition, which could lead to heart attacks, diabetes, and cognitive disorders. This is the reason Dr. Michael Miyamoto, dentist and owner of the Miyamoto Dental Design Suite at Maui, Wailuku, HI, has decided to run an awareness campaign on the use of dental devices to treat sleep apnea. These dental devices are worn while the patients sleep at night and have positive effects such as promoting good sleep and helping patients to have energy throughout the day.

At a recent interview about sleep apnea, Dr. Miyamoto provided a lot of information and critical advice to the community about this subject. Sleep apnea does not just make breathing difficult during sleep. It can also lead to obesity, heart attacks, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Unfortunately, 80% of the 22 million Americans who have sleep apnea have not been diagnosed. A lot of people do not realize that dental appliances can successfully treat this disorder without any invasive procedures.
The majority of people in the island of Maui are not informed on sleep apnea, its causes and how it can be treated. Dr. Miyamoto considers this to be a major concern. “It is a huge mistake to say all you do is snore when you could have sleep apnea. Getting a medical diagnosis is critical," he warned during the interview.
Sleep apnea is a more serious condition than snoring. While snoring is simply the blockage of the upper airways by the throat tissues, sleep apnea causes shallow breathing and breaks in breathing as a person is asleep. It also includes snoring in most cases and this is why people mistake sleep apnea for snoring. Sleep apnea can cause those who suffer from it to wake up over 100 times at night. Sleep apnea has different causes and one of them is an individual’s dental structure.
If the sleep apnea is as a result of obstruction, then an oral device is the best method to treat it. This is effective, fast, compliant with other treatment methods, and also energy efficient as it does not use electricity. The device works by creating space in the upper airway and kills two birds with one stone because it also eliminates snoring. It is the best option for treating dental-based sleep apnea, as compared to the CPAP machine. It allows for comfortable sleep, while the CPAP is a very bulky device that is worn on the face like a mask, which most people find extremely uncomfortable.
“I must say that the sleep apnea dental device is the best in the market for comfort and compliance for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. If you know someone with the disorder or you yourself have suffered from breathing problems at night, then get in touch with a licensed medical provider. They will first conduct a sleep study to determine if you need it and prescribe it once you are diagnosed. It is worth every minute of the sleep study.” said Dr. Miyamoto.
"He's a great dentist and has a great staff," said James Y. about Dr. Miyamoto. "I had a procedure that was fairly complex and I appreciated his caring, communicative style and of course excellent work!"
Dr. Miyamoto is qualified in several areas of dentistry, including pediatric dentistry, dental implant restorations, smile design and cosmetic procedures, and specialized services like TMD, Pinhole Surgical Technique - a Gum Rejuvenation procedure, and Sleep Apnea Treatment. He is also very keen about community based activities that he conducts, such as food drives and free dental care days. As a result, Dr. Michael Miyamoto has been featured on National media houses, such as FOX, CBS, ABC and NBC. He serves the residents of Wailuku, Kahului, Makawao, Kihei and other Maui locations.
