Oral System Biology Q&A

Q:    How long does it take to see results with OSB therapy?

A:    There are several different appliance options and combinations.

        Once an appliance is delivered we see some symptoms resolved immediately. The average case can range from immediate results to steady improvement over a few months of treatment.

        At your first OSB visit, after an exam and diagnostic tests, we are able to provide you with a flow sheet that details what may be the best course of treatment for your individual case and an estimate of how many visits it may involve.

        90% of patients report significant improvement in, or total relief from, their symptoms.

        Here are a few examples of individual cases...

        "...A week or so later I got my appliance. I think I was expecting the heavens to open up and there to be this huge life changing explosion the moment I put it in my mouth. But it didn't happen that way. In fact I thought, 'This is it? Hmmm. Ok, let's wait and see about this.' The next day I returned for a checkup. The world did seem like a better place...I left cautiously optimistic. That's when I really started noticing the changes. I wasn't bad mouthing other drivers. I wasn't screaming at my kids. I wasn't snoring. I wasn't feeling totally out of control. I was just...happy satisfies, peaceful, calm, able to think before I reacted. About a week in I began a downward spiral. Many negative things started coming back. I showed up at your office that Monday morning for an adjustment thinking that this thing didn't work. I left your office that day (after the adjustment) a different woman. Never to be the same again. There have been so many positive changes in my life since receiving my OSB. Words could never thank you enough for the life changing effect you have had on me and my family..."  A. Parker

"...After waiting 2 weeks, my OSB Balance appliance was ready, and it was time to begin having it custom fitted just for me. Dr. Whitley said it may be a few weeks before I would experience the full benefit of the appliance, but I began to notice some positive effects right away. I began to breathe more easily and could feel the oxygen flowing through my body. I stopped having to clear my throat constantly. I was more able to breathe deeply through my nose where before I had to take most breathes through my mouth. Within just a few hours, my constant neck and shoulder pain began to subside. This was something I had lived with for over 8 years and for which I thought there was no relief..." D. Yancey
