What is an at-home sleep study? I thought I had to go to a sleep clinic and sleep hooked up to machines with people watching me.

Why would a dentist treat sleep apnea and not a medical doctor?
More and more dentists are getting highly specialized training in sleep apnea treatment because of the physiology of sleep apnea’s connection to the mouth, jaw, teeth, and throat. Medical doctors must cover many specialty areas during their education and training. Sleep apnea is not high on the conditions they are likely to treat.
Sleep apnea dentists, on the other hand, see people suffering from the often-debilitating symptoms of sleep apnea all the time, and that is what has prompted so many of them to get the training necessary to design and fabricate Oral Appliance Therapy orthotics that will gently place your jaw in its optimal position so your airway remains unobstructed while you sleep. If suitable, your sleep apnea dentist might recommend the highly effective CPAP treatment.
How accurate are home sleep studies?
SleepTest.com home sleep studies accurately detect sleep apnea in people with a moderate or severe form of the disorder. Certain medical conditions may affect a sleep study, but with a thorough screening process before sending out the equipment, SleepTest.com will know if you’re a good candidate for the at-home study.
