Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Research shows a direct link between sleep apnea (difficulty breathing at night) and the danger of stroke. Usually affecting overweight, middle-aged men, snoring is sleep apnea marked by the cessation of breathing for up to several seconds. Snoring is the result of the tongue falling back and blocking the airway, and while struggling for a breath, the blood pressure goes up and cholesterol that sticks to the arteries can block blood flow to the brain. This may often result in a stroke.

Sleep apnea and snoring are medical conditions for which dentistry is able to offer effective, non-invasive and reversible treatment. It is important to recognize this condition early, treat it effectively and decrease the chance of a stroke, as well as greatly improve the quality of sleep!

We have a dental device that is designed to allow the advancement of the mandible through a controlled range of forward movement, while at the same time, allowing for a limited amount of vertical and lateral movement of the mandible. This appliance has proven extremely effective in treating snoring and sleep apnea.
