FOR IMMEDIATERELEASE
Kansas City, MO– April 22, 2025 – The TeleDentists, the leading provider of virtual dentalcare, has partnered with Orthoxy Inc. to introduce SleepBrace™, a non-invasive, professionally supervised oral postureand habit correction device designed to support better breathing, jaw comfort,and functional alignment — now available to patients across the U.S.
Unlike traditional braces or CPAP devices, SleepBrace™ is a soft, prefabricated dental appliance known as a tooth positioner. It is intended for teens and adults(15+) experiencing habit-related issues such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, clenching, or mild to moderate dental crowding, gaps, or relapse. By addressing the root causes of poor oral posture, SleepBrace can support functional improvement and visible alignment changes in eligible users — often without the need for fixed braces or aligners. It is also well-suited for users experiencing post-braces relapse, offering functional support to help maintain alignment and reinforce oral posture habits
“Functional oral dysfunction — things like incorrect tongue posture, poor jaw positioning, and chronic mouth breathing — lies at the root of many aesthetic and sleep-related complaints,” said Dr. Maria Kunstadter, Co-Founder and CEO of The TeleDentists. “This partnership allows us to bring guided functional correction and habit training to patients remotely — supervised by licensed dental professionals through a structured protocol.”
The SleepBrace system includes three progressive stages tailored to each user’s functional goals:
● D1 (Soft):Initial correction. Myofunctional training, adaptation, and nasal breathing
● D2 (Medium):Gentle support for dental alignment and arch form
● D3 (Firm):Further correction & retention
Patients are first screened virtually through a quick form through the TeleDentists platform, where a provider determines clinical eligibility. Those approved receive their device by mail and begin a supervised program with stage-specific recommendations, remote check-ins, and a video-based therapy routine to support habit change.
SleepBrace is not indicated for severe sleep apnea or complex orthodontic cases involving skeletal correction or bodily tooth movement. However, it may be appropriate for habit-driven malocclusion, TMJ-related symptoms, minor-moderate alignment, and snoring associated with poor tongue posture.
The TeleDentists is the industry leader in virtual dental services, offering 24/7 access to licensed dental professionals across the U.S. Their services range from emergency care to oral health coaching, and now include functional oral correction via the SleepBrace program.
