As a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), Dr. Hansen has dedicated his expertise to improving the lives of patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-disordered breathing conditions.

In his work practice, Dr. Hansen focuses on the transformative benefits of mandibular advancement devices (MADs), which are custom-fitted dental appliances that gently reposition the lower jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. These devices have proven to be a highly effective alternative to CPAP therapy for many patients, particularly those who prefer a non-invasive solution to their sleep apnea.
