Detroit Dental Sleep Network (DDSN) is an association of highly trained dentists providing oral appliances to patients for treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This web site is a source of information and education for patients, dentists and medical professionals on oral appliances and OSA.

DDSN is affiliated with the Barnes Group, a consortium of independently owned dental laboratories that fabricate oral appliances.

OSA is linked to life threatening diseases and is a major cause of insufficient and poor quality sleep. Sleep deprivation affects 50% of the workforce and is a major cause of health, safety and productivity issues.

Business leaders and human resource directors:

DDSN representatives are available to present seminars on your premises regarding sleep deprivation in the work place and the dangers of drowsy driving.

The Detroit Dental Sleep Network is:

• creating community awareness to the dangers of OSA throughout SE Michigan,
• promoting dentistry's role in the treatment of OSA, and
• helping sufferers understand their illness and get them to ASK QUESTIONS of their pharmacists, physicians, dentists and others about treatment.
