Sleep Study Testing (SleepImage® Ring) in Ponte Vedra Beach
What it is
SleepImage® is a small, comfortable ring you wear at home for 1–3 nights. It measures sleep architecture and breathing patterns while you sleep in your own bed. A board-certified sleep physician interprets your study, and we use the results to plan care—and re-test to verify improvement.
What it measures
- Overall sleep quality and sleep stages/architecture
- Night-long snoring and breathing trends
- Markers of arousals, oxygen changes, and recovery
- Night-to-night variability (why we prefer multiple nights)
Why multiple nights?
Sleep varies. A short series gives a truer baseline and makes changes during therapy (appliance titration, laser series, expansion) easier to see on re-test.
How the process works
- Screen & fit – quick airway-focused exam and ring sizing.
- Sleep at home – wear the ring for 1–3 nights.
- Physician read – a board-certified sleep physician interprets the data.
- Review together – we explain results and map next steps.
- Re-test – repeat the ring after treatment changes to confirm progress.
Who it helps
- Snoring or suspected sleep-disordered breathing
- CPAP-intolerant or “not sure where to start”
- Patients already in care who want objective progress tracking
What to expect
- No lab, no wires—most people forget it’s on
- Use at home on your normal schedule
- Results review typically within a few days of device return
FAQs
Is this a medical diagnosis? Your study is interpreted by a board-certified sleep physician. When a medical diagnosis is present or needed, we coordinate with your physician as part of care.
Will insurance help? Many plans contribute to physician-interpreted home sleep studies. We’ll review your options.
Do I still need other tests? Sometimes. The ring answers the sleep side. If we need structural insight (nasal airflow, tongue space, jaw relationships), we may recommend Diagnostics & Evaluation (CBCT airway review, head & neck/TMJ assessment, intraoral scans).
How will we use the data? To choose care (e.g., oral appliance titration, DEKA laser series, adult expansion) and to re-test so you can see measurable improvement.
