Snoring can be a major sleep disturbance for you and your loved ones, and it is often a sign of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, sometimes referred to as OSA. While sleeping, muscles relax, including those that control the tongue and throat. The soft tissue at the back of your throat can sag, and incoming air makes these muscles and tissue vibrate resulting in the noise we know as snoring. Sleep apnea is the result of a completely blocked airway, and your oxygen-depleted brain actually wakes you up so you resume breathing.
Get a Better Night’s Sleep with SomnoDent®
Custom-made sleep appliances effectively prevent snoring and have been shown clinically effective in treating sleep apnea. SomnoDent appliances work by repositioning the tongue, holding the jaw forward, increasing three-dimensional space, and reducing air velocity. This eliminates snore vibrations and allows you to breathe more easily—resulting in deeper, more peaceful sleep.
Best of all, SomnoDent appliances are comfortable. Because they are made of thin, flexible materials and custom designed to fit your mouth, SomnoDent allows for subtle jaw movements preventing stiffness and dry mouth.
Many patients notice a marked improvement after just a few nights of use. If your sleep partner tells you that you snore, or you wake up feeling stressed and tired, it might be time to consider a SomnoDent appliance from Ridgfield Perfect Smile Center. Call our Ridgefield dental practice for your appointment.
