The Full Breath Solution
As of February 1, 2006, the Academy of Sleep Medicine has designated “…sleep oral
appliances as the NUMBER ONE treatment avenue for mild and moderate sleep apnea
and snoring.”
Because Dr. Keropian’s procedure and mouthpiece were so successful at improving
breathing during sleep, it seemed appropriate for it to be known as THE FULL BREATH
SOLUTION. In the initial testing we submitted to the FDA we found a more than a
60% reduction in the number of instances of blockage, also know as apnea episodes.
With the FULL BREATH SOLUTION, the air passage is open throughout the night, enabling
sufficient oxygen to reach the lungs. Full Breath is what you need to stop snoring,
breathe fully and enjoy peaceful, restful sleep!
Dental appliances are the #1 non-surgical treatment solution recommended by the Academy
of Sleep Medicine when the CPAP cannot be tolerated. They are an effective solution
for snoring problems and for patients with mild or moderate Sleep Apnea.
The Full Breath Solution appliances are patented, small, comfortable and
effective
No matter how bad it is, no matter what treatments you have tried in the past, your
sleep problems CAN BE IMPROVED using the Full Breath Solution from this Center.

A History of the Development of the Full Breath Solution
By Dr. Keropian
In 2001, a beautiful woman came into my office, despondent and crying. She was about
40 years old and had started snoring when she was 36. As a result of snoring and
Sleep Apnea, she had no energy; she was constantly fatigued. She lost her job because
she was continually too exhausted to work. She went to a doctor and he put her on
a CPAP machine. It was effective for her as well, but she, just like so many others,
could not tolerate wearing the CPAP on her face all night. She could not sleep at
all with it on!
Subsequently she tried one of the mouthpieces existing at that time, but found she
could not tolerate the bulk of it.
She endured four years of this, and by the time she came to see me, was taking Prozac
and told me she was ready to commit suicide. You can imagine how much I wanted to
help her.
Using a computer to show me a person's airway volume, I made an appliance to
set the bite for maximum air intake.
A week later she returned to the office crying. The snoring, exhaustion and headache
problems were not relieved. She was more distraught than ever and was losing hope
that anything would ever work.
There was no way I'd give up on her. I thought long and hard, trying to come up
with something different, something that would work more effectively. It was common
knowledge in the field of sleep medicine that the tongue could fall backward and
block the airway. It occurred to me that none of the current mouthpieces had any
way to hold the tongue down! So, I developed an upper retainer, but also ran two
wires across the back of the mouthpiece to hold the tongue down.
As time went on, it became clear that the tongue was not just falling back during
sleep. It was also pushing upward, blocking the airway. No mouthpiece had ever been
designed to handle this problem!
With this in mind, I carefully worked the device so it would not only hold the tongue,
but also keep it from pressing upward.
She returned three days later, the tears replaced by a appreciative smile that changed
all of us, too, in the clinic. She reported that she had been getting the best sleep
she'd had in many, many years!
That was all the encouragement I needed. I refined and documented my design and
production techniques and obtained a patent, followed by FDA clearance. I had developed
the smallest and most effective mouthpiece available. I am proud and pleased to
share this breakthrough with you!
