Q: What is Epigenetic Orthodontics?

A: Epigenetic orthodontics uses a person's natural genes to correct and straighten the teeth without the use of force brackets. Click here to see the video-interview with Dental Economics Click here to listen to an Interview with the Australian Dental Association

Q: What is Pneumopedics?
A: Pneumopedics is the process of non-surgical airway remodeling that may result from treatment with the DNA appliance system. The pair of images below shows a comparison of a person's airway before and after Pneumopedic treatment with a DNA appliance system. Note that results will vary for individual cases. read more

Q: Are genes involved in the treatments in any way?

A: Yes,in the sense that the human genome is implicated during orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic (nonsurgical airway remodeling) airway treatments, and that certain devices or appliances,such as the (DaytimeNighttime Appliance DNA appliance) can upregulate or modulate gene expression during orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic (non-surgical airway remodeling) airway treatments. However, no artificial genes or genetransfer is used at all. Only the patient's naturally-occurring genes are implicated in Dr Singh's Epigenetic orthodontic

transfer is used at all. Only the patient's naturally-occurring genes are implicated in Dr Singh's Epigenetic orthodontic concept. In other words, new, orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic devices or DNA appliances are involved in a system that has been specially-designed by Dr Singh to bioengineer craniofacial, dental, and airway structures so that natural developmental processes are evoked by Dr Singh's orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic devices or DNA appliances to enhance the teeth, jaws, TMJ, face and airway into more optimal relations for functions, such as sleep and breathing.

Q: How does Epigenetic Orthodontics work?

A: Dr Singh believes that by changing the spatial relations of crooked teeth, using a new generation of orthodonticorthopedic-pneumopedic DNA appliances , which can be worn similar to removable orthodontic retainers, the various genes that control tooth position will be activated so that orthodontists and dentists can enhance dental and oral health, including non-surgical airway remodeling . Some evidence for these ideas is already available in the dental, orthodontic and medical literature. These new DNA appliances rely less on the continuous force exerted by conventional orthodontic braces, but help to guide the teeth, jaws, TMJ, face and airway into more optimal relations for functions, such as sleep and breathing. Specifically, these new DNA appliances consist of 3-D Axial springs that are specially made from Do-Not-Adjust wire or DNA wire which, as its name suggests, requires virtually little or no adjustment by the dental professional.

Q: What does Epigenetic Orthodontics mean?

A: Epigenetic orthodontics means that various human genes or combinations of the patient's naturally-inherited genes are harnessed in combination or independently with various orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic devices or DNA appliances to modify, change or attenuate the physical location of natural teeth, jaws and airway in 3-D space during orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic treatments, based on the concept of 'temporo-spatial patterning.' The term "temporo-spatial patterning" like Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) implies that the spatial organization of the teeth, jaws and airway can be mapped in 3-D space at known anatomical locations using x, y, z coordinates. The pattern in 3-D space of craniofacial structures are encoded within the patient's genome. Dr Singh believes that DNA appliances are capable of modulating genetic pathways, which are effectively dormant or inactive, and are capable of restarting craniofacial development in adult patients as well as in children. In addition, abnormal patterning is corrected, in part, through the deployment of orthodontic, orthopedic and/or pneumopedic devices or DNA appliances , which may evoke natural developmental processes that improve a patient's airway and thereby ameliorate or prevent airway issues such as snoring and other forms of sleep-disordered breathing through non-surgical airway remodeling .

Q: What makes Epigenetic Orthodontics different?

A: Traditionally, specially-trained orthodontists use fixed braces to apply forces to straighten crooked teeth. While many of these cases are initially treated successfully, few patients know that relapse can occur after treatment. Relapse means that a patient's teeth will move back after treatment has been completed. The reasons for relapse are complex and remain incompletely understood. However, the entire human genome has now been sequenced, and we now know that certain genes are involved in moving teeth. Teeth are naturally-designed to move, for example, tooth eruption in a normallygrowing child. In addition, the teeth in some people erupt in a specific arrangement, producing a beautiful smile. Dr Singh believes that the specific arrangement of teeth is due to certain genes. In fact, a natural process called 'temporo-spatial patterning' is at work. This process is the blueprint or body plan that is encoded by genes. In other words, the right and left sides of the body, the top and bottom of the body as well as the front and back of the entire body is under the control of a genetic body plan, including the teeth. Sometimes, however, the plan gets disturbed, producing crooked teeth, for example. The Daytime-Nighttime Appliance system uses DNA appliances to address these issues.

Q: Who manufactures the DNA appliance System?

A: The DNA appliance System is manufactured worldwide in: United States, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan. For a complete list of all of the current labs with their contact information, please vist our labs page here: DNA appliance system Certified Laboratories

Q: Is the DNA appliance System approved to treat OSA by the FDA?

A: The DNA appliance System is not FDA approved for OSA. The statements on this website are not endorsed by and have not been verified by the FDA.
