Konstantin Ronkin

Sleep apnea care at Factor Smile Dental Clinic is built around digital polysomnography and a deeper functional analysis of why breathing disorders happen during sleep. Konstantin Ronkin, a specialist at the clinic in Dubai, leads this multi-level program rather than relying only on symptom control. The diagnostic pathway includes digital polysomnography (described as the “gold standard” in the clinic’s sleep apnea protocol) and functional analysis considering anatomy, biomechanics, and neurological factors. In parallel, the clinic’s neuromuscular dentistry approach uses high-precision diagnostics before any bite correction steps. Ronkin’s workflow includes the K7 Evaluation System (Myotronics), spot electromyography, and TMJ position analysis, followed by fabrication of individual neuromuscular caps (orthotics). This same functional lens is also used when planning orthodontic, orthopedic, or surgical treatment support.
