How can I prevent snoring?
For the majority of snorers, the most affordable, noninvasive, comfortable, and effective solution is a snore prevention device, such as the Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance, prescribed by dentists. The patient-specific Silent Nite oral appliance treats snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea by gently shifting the lower jaw into a therapeutic position during sleep, which increases the space in the airway and reduces air velocity and soft-tissue vibration. Connectors are attached to transparent, flexible upper and lower splints that are formed to the teeth. The fit is excellent and comfortable, permitting uninhibited oral breathing.
Most people find oral appliance therapy to be very successful. One study, which followed patients for 2.5 years, found oral appliances to be well-accepted by 90% of patients. The study also concluded that these devices significantly improve respiratory function and sleep quality.
