In this video, Dr. Nammy Patel details the inspiring progress of Megan, a young patient who initially struggled with a retruded chin and a sensation of a full, crowded tongue due to a constricted airway. After a thorough evaluation, Megan underwent treatments that opened up her airway and included collagen laser therapy, leading to improved breathing, enhanced energy, and a more comfortable facial structure. Now, nine months into treatment, Megan is experiencing better sleep, increased vitality, and overall well-being—an outcome that underscores the practice’s commitment to proactive, data-driven care that extends beyond traditional dental treatments.
Dr. Nammy Patel: Hi there. Today, I want to chat with you about one of my favorite patients. Her name is Megan. She is a darling and a delight to work with, super young, a rock star, mid-20s, actually early 30s, I believe, but just really on it, knows when she has a problem, wants to be proactive, and really look after herself before things become super problematic. It was really wonderful to meet her in person. Her biggest concern was like, “Hey, my chin is so retruded, and I feel like my tongue is too full from my mouth.”
So, I said, “Okay, let’s take a look around and see what we find.” So, we took a look around, and I’ll share with you some of our findings.
Dealing with a Constricted Airway
This is Megan when we first started with her, and this is Megan after we completed with her. And do you see she has no airway? So, the feeling that she felt like her tongue was super full is actually really true. It is definitely something that she was experiencing. It was definitely something that was problematic and needed attention.
And here she is where we’ve opened her up, and she’s far more comfortable. She doesn’t feel like her mouth is so far back. Again, oh my gosh, she was already a vibrant girl, already lost 10 pounds, is happy, super jazzy, really excited, and just really, really, really content with life and just really happy with the services and things of that nature. We definitely took some scans to make sure that she’s doing okay. She’s still in progress, still more work to do, but definitely very, very, very happy.
Collagen Laser Treatments
And here she is, just talks about her collagen laser treatments and how wonderful it is, how her voice has changed. She can breathe better, and she just loves that. We can give her the best solutions for her. And loves David, of course, as well. But really, the quality of care and the warm welcome. And that’s what it’s all about.
It’s the quality of care, the data-driven quality care that patients receive. She’s nine months into treatment, and out of a two-year, she’s feeling fantastic. She’s getting great sleep and finally getting going. So, that’s a really big win for Megan. We’re really excited for her. And we want to continue to see the journey progress and have her feel better and better and better and better.
Who Can Benefit From Collagen Laser Treatments
And we’d like to help more patients, too. So, if you know anybody who is not a good breather, actually, or snoring, or maybe not resting really well, has a little bit of anxiety or irritability, anything like that, have them give our office a call, be more than happy to help. Give you good quality care and data-driven results. All right?
