If you want to end your Snoring - We can Help!
WHAT IF THERE IS A MORE SERIOUS CONDITION?
Sometimes snoring is just snoring, but many times it's a symptom
of a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnea. In some cases this breathing
disorder can lead to strokes, heart irregularities and other life threatening incidents.
People diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea actually stop breathing at night due to
airway blockage by a relaxed tongue. When the breathing stops, carbon dioxide builds up
in the blood stream until your brain is alerted and screams wake up and breathe! The
silence is broken at that point with a gasping, snorting sound. These reoccurring episodes
deprive you of necessary deep REM sleep and makes you tired the next day.
THERE IS AN ANSWER!
Dental research has developed a simple and safe anti-snoring
device to reduce or even eliminate your snoring. Dental anti-snoring devices are
made of soft plastic and fit comfortably inside your mouth. If fitted by a qualified
dentist, this device will not fall out, slip or obstruct your airwaves.
Getting fitted for an anti-snoring device can take as little as
two visits to the dentist. Often at the first appointment, dental impressions are made.
At the second visit, the device is fitted and you go home to get a good night's sleep.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
How this dental device works is related to how it positions the jaw.
When an anti-snoring device is placed in the mouth, the jaw is held forward. The tongue,
being attached to the jaw moves along with it and can't fall back as easily into the throat
to block the airways and cause snoring. It's just that simple.
