SNORING

 

Snoring is a problem that affects the majority of adults. Snoring can cause disrupted sleep for both snorers and their sleeping partners and it can lead to health problems.

 

Snoring is the harsh sound that occurs when the tissue at the back of the roof of the mouth vibrates against the back of the throat. During sleep, throat tissues, the tongue and the muscles that line the airway all relax, narrowing the airway. The air passing through the narrower airway causes the tissues to vibrate against each other and create the snoring sound that can grow louder during sleep. Snoring may also be an indication of a bigger health problem; sleep apnea.

 

                           

                                           OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

 

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the soft tissues at the back of the throat completely close off the airway so that air cannot flow into the lungs. This airway blockage can reduce the amount of oxygen reaching the brain and body. When that happens, the brain alerts the muscles in the airway to tighten up and unblock the air passage. This leads to a cycle of blocking and unblocking the airway and causes significant disruption of sleep.

Common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea

 

• Loud snoring

 

• Restless sleep

 

• Periodic stoppages of breathing

 

• Significant daytime sleepiness

 

• Irritability or personality change

 

• Difficulty concentrating and poor memory

 

Sleep apnea is a health problem that can be associated with high blood pressure, heart problems and stroke. It is important for patients to see a physician or a sleep disorder specialist if they are experiencing snoring and daytime sleepiness.

We have been treating patients with snoring solutions and sleep apnea conditions with oral appliance therapy to stop snoring and we had seen outstanding results.

 

An oral appliance is a small acrylic device that fits over the upper and lower teeth or tongue (similar to an orthodontic retainer or mouthguard). This device slightly advances the lower jaw or tongue, moving the base of the tongue forward and opening the airway. This improves breathing and the patient stops snoring and this is one of the snoring solutions. The appliance is fabricated and customized for each patient by a dentist with advanced training in the treatment of snoring solutions and sleep apnea. The appliances to stop snoring are comfortable and well tolerated by the patients. They are easy to place and remove, easy to clean and are convenient for travel.
