Silent Night

 

It is estimated that more than 90 million people, snore in North America while sleeping.  When you consider spouses and children nearly 180 million people are negatively affected from snoring every night. There is now a solution for a more restful night of sleep called the SILENT NITE.

 

ACTUAL CASE:  A patient came to our office seeking advice to stop her snoring.  She said neither she nor her spouse were able to get a restful night sleep because of her snoring.   She also complained of feeling tired all the time because her snoring would wake her up throughout the night.  After she started wearing the SILENT NITE her snoring became nonexistent in a short period of time.  Therefore, now she sleeps more soundly, breathes easier and wakes up more refreshed.  Also, her spouse sleeps more restful now.

 

What Causes Snoring? 

During sleep, the muscles and soft tissues in the throat and mouth relax making the breathing airway smaller.  This decrease in space increases the velocity of air flowing through the airway during breathing.  As the velocity increases in the constricted space, the soft tissues like the soft palate and the uvula vibrate producing the classic snoring sound.  It should also be noted that sleep studies have shown that excess body weight, heavy alcohol consumption and sedatives have been shown to increase the severity of snoring.

 

How Does The SILENT NITE Prevent Snoring?

The SILENT NITE snoring prevention device gently positions the lower jaw into a forward position by means of special connectors that are attached to transparent flexible upper and lower forms.  These upper and lower forms are custom laminated with heat and pressure to a model of your mouth.  They have an excellent fit and are very comfortable since they have a soft inner layer.  With your lower jaw slightly forward, the airway stays open and prevents soft tissue vibrations which cause snoring.  Even with congested nasal passages, the SILENT NITE device prevents snoring and does not inhibit oral breathing.  

 

The SILENT NITE is also FDA approved for mild sleep apnea which means it has been proven effective for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

 

Snoring Research Confirms Effectiveness

Snoring research has shown that custom fabricated dental devices worn at night that move the lower jaw into a forward position, increase the airway tube space which reduces the air velocity and soft tissue vibrations.  By preventing soft tissue vibrations, snoring is eliminated.  In clinical research studies, these dentists prescribed oral devices have exhibited initial snoring prevention success rates of between 70 to 100%.
