Problem snoring
Many relationships suffer due to the nightly snoring of one of the partners. Through the slacking of the jaw toward the back, breathing is impeded. The uvula flaps during breathing and causes the snoring sound.
Snore Guards
Irritating snoring and light to middle degree of sleep apnea can be alleviated through a retainer-like anti-snoring appliance. They are called protrusion retainers or snore guards. Special contact elements between upper and lower retainer allow these apparatuses to be set so that lower jaw, tongue and uvula are kept toward the front during sleep. This way the throat is kept wide open and the slack throat muscles are stabilized, giving the lungs enough air to saturate the blood with oxygen.
Example:
In cooperation with sleep therapists, we can fit you with the appropriate appliance so that the alarmed wake-up reaction can be eliminated and you and your partner can sleep more peacefully and restfully.
