Home Sleep Apnea Testing with the Watermark ARES™ System
Diagnose Sleep Apnea from the Comfort of Home
Sleep apnea affects millions of adults, yet many remain undiagnosed. The Watermark ARES™ Home Sleep Test provides a convenient, clinically validated way to identify obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) without spending a night in a sleep laboratory.
Using advanced physiological monitoring technology, the ARES system collects the data needed to evaluate sleep-disordered breathing while patients sleep naturally in their own beds.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea or are being evaluated for oral appliance therapy, home sleep testing offers a simple first step toward better sleep and better health.
Benefits of Home Sleep Testing
- Sleep comfortably in your own bed
- Easy-to-use head-mounted monitoring device
- Quick setup and minimal disruption
- Accurate assessment of sleep-disordered breathing
- Physician-reviewed results
- Faster diagnosis and treatment planning
Why Sleep Apnea Matters
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is more than loud snoring.
Left untreated, sleep apnea has been associated with:
- Excessive daytime fatigue
- Poor concentration and memory
- Morning headaches
- High blood pressure
- Increased cardiovascular risk
- Diabetes and metabolic disorders
- Reduced quality of life
Common Symptoms Include
- Loud snoring
- Witnessed pauses in breathing during sleep
- Daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Restless sleep
- Morning headaches
If these symptoms sound familiar, a home sleep test may help determine whether sleep apnea is the cause.

A Powerful Opportunity for Dentists
Identifying Candidates for Oral Appliance Therapy
Dentists are uniquely positioned to help address the growing epidemic of obstructive sleep apnea.
Many patients visit their dentist more regularly than their physician and frequently exhibit signs and symptoms associated with sleep-disordered breathing, including:
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Worn dentition
- Enlarged tongue
- Narrow airway anatomy
- Chronic snoring complaints
- Daytime fatigue
Home Sleep Apnea Testing provides an effective way for dentists to become part of the diagnostic and treatment pathway.
Expand Your Sleep Medicine Services
Identify Undiagnosed OSA Patients
Many individuals suffering from sleep apnea have never been tested. Offering a simple home study removes barriers to diagnosis.
Improve Treatment Acceptance
Patients are more likely to move forward with treatment when they receive objective diagnostic data documenting their condition.
Strengthen Physician Collaboration
Sleep testing allows dentists to work more closely with sleep physicians and medical providers in a collaborative care model.
Grow Oral Appliance Therapy Opportunities
Appropriately diagnosed patients may qualify for oral appliance therapy, creating an opportunity to improve patient outcomes while expanding practice services.
The Dental Sleep Medicine Workflow
1. Screen
Identify patients with symptoms or risk factors for sleep apnea.
2. Test
Provide a convenient ARES™ Home Sleep Test.
3. Diagnose
Results are reviewed and interpreted by qualified sleep physicians.
4. Treat
Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea may be candidates for oral appliance therapy.
5. Monitor
Follow-up sleep testing can help verify treatment effectiveness.
