Let’s face it, snoring isn’t fun.
It drives the people around you crazy to listen to it, and it can be very dangerous to your health, including sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when the airway completely collapses while sleeping, blocking airflow into the lungs. The harder one tries to breathe, the tighter the airway seals. This airway obstruction persists until the brain partially awakens the person.
The Sleep Apnea cycle can repeat itself 50 or more times per hour during the night. With a blocked air passage, a person does not receive enough oxygen. Both the constant awakening and oxygen deprivation can then trigger other health problems.
At The Art of Dentistry and Spa, we offer two products to help snoring become a thing of your past.
Silent Nite, is flexible, thin and comfortable, and it exhibits documented clinical success in lessening or even preventing the disruptive, unhealthy effects of snoring and sleep apnea.
Silent Nite positions the lower jaw forward using special connectors that are attached to upper and lower trays. These trays are comprised of a soft inner layer with a hard outer layer that is durable and BPA-free. They are comfortable and easy to wear.
We offer Somnomed Sleep Apnea and snoring appliance. Somnomed FDA approved dental devices to treat snoring and sleep apnea.
