Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) can occur as a result of snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These conditions affect more than 40% of the population and this percentage increases every year in people 45 and over. Snoring and OSA are caused by the narrowing or complete blockage of the upper airway during sleep. The most common cause of this airway restriction is when muscles of the jaw and neck allow the tongue to drop to the back of the throat narrowing or blocking the breathing passageway. This creates snoring sounds or in OSA, the frequent awakening to gasp for a breath. These sleep disorders pose a serious risk to personal relationships and to one's health. Visit www.endsnore.com for more information about snoring and our solutions for you. We offer the following highly efficient, comfortable, and non-invasive oral appliances to our patients who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea:

• AveoTSD (Tongue Stabilizing Device):
  The AveoTSD is a tongue stabilizing device that works by holding the tongue in a forward position with gentle suction during sleep. Thereby preventing the tongue from falling back into the throat and allowing for increased airflow. It is a great, simple solution for mild sleep apnea and does not require custom impressions or follow up fittings, so its cost is very reasonable. Please visit www.getaveo.com for more information.
  
  
• TAP (Thorton Adjustable Positioner):
  The TAP anti-snoring device is a comfortable, custom-made appliance that is patient-adjustable, allowing for maximum comfort and effectiveness. The TAP holds the lower jaw in a forward position so that it does not fall open during the night and cause the airway to collapse. There is a 96% success rate for people treated with the TAP because of its ability to maintain a clear airway to reduce snoring and improve breathing.

• Silent Nite:
  The Silent Nite Snore Prevention Device also works by positioning the lower jaw into a forward position with the help of connectors attached to the device's upper and lower custom forms. The appliance increases the airway's capacity and prevents the soft tissue vibrations that cause snoring. Please click here to dowload the Silent Nite Brochure.
