For those patients who live in the Washington DC area, and who are interested in pursuing treatment with Oral Systemic Balance, I strongly recommend that they see Dr. Wayne Whitley’s website

Oral Systemic Balance is a groundbreaking concept developed by Dr. Farrand Robson of Tacoma, WA. I regard Dr. Whitley as one of the most experienced of Dr. Robson’s students.

Sleep Apnea and Truck Driving–A Dangerous Combination

dlawler — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 11:30:24 +0000

Any truck driver found to have sleep apnea is required to have this disorder managed or they will loose their commercial drivers license. This patient tried everything but finally found his solution with oral appliance therapy.

The Overlooked Effects of “Second-Hand” Snoring

dlawler — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 11:18:27 +0000

This patient talks candidly about the often overlooked effects of “second-hand” snoring. Just like cigarette smoking damages the health of those near by, snoring has a significant detrimental effect on the sleep of the non-snoring bed partner. It is also interesting to hear his comments about feeling good before wearing the oral appliance. It is very common to have someone say that they feel good prior to having their sleep-breathing disorder managed and then be very surprised when they feel so much better afterwards.

Oral Systemic Balance in the management of head and neck pain

dlawler — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:18:17 +0000

It is not uncommon for people with sleep-related breathing disorders to have a significant amount of head and neck pain. People with these combined problems, have a double whammy in getting good sleep. Not only are they fighting for air during sleep and sleeping fitfully because of difficulty breathing, they have the added burden of having their pain disturb their sleep as well.

Oral Systemic Balance, a therapy developed by Dr. Farrand Robson, has the ability to deal with both of the above issues at the same time. The patient featured below is a fibromyalgia sufferer. Most people with fibromyalgia sleep poorly for the reasons mentioned above. I am most grateful for her in allowing me to video her appointment at which we placed an Oral Systemic Balance orthotic on her lower teeth. Her consent in allowing this video to be shown on this website will hopefully help many people understand the tremendous amount of pain relief that can be accomplished with Oral Systemic Balance therapy.

Again, I want to express my appreciation for this patient’s willingness for this video to be shown and my gratitude to Dr. Robson for his guidance. I feel very strongly that his work is groundbreaking. For more information on this website about Oral Systemic Balance therapy, go here.
