Snoring doesn't depend on your sex, age or oral hygiene. It's a perfectly normal phenomenon that most people experience.
When we sleep, our muscles relax. For some people, this relaxation can cause the tongue to recoil. Airflow is then impeded by the presence of the tongue. To compensate, our body speeds up the process, causing tissues in the throat (palate, tonsils, uvula, etc.) to vibrate. It is this vibration that produces snoring.
Sleep apnea is not the same as snoring. In some people, the obstruction of the pharynx when they sleep is total and completely prevents air from passing through. This blockage leads to respiratory arrest, known as sleep apnea. This phenomenon can last more than 10 seconds each time, and can occur dozens or even hundreds of times a night.
This sleep disorder is not to be taken lightly. It causes a drop in oxygen levels in the blood and can lead to serious short- and long-term consequences, such as hypertension, diabetes, depression, cardiovascular disease, intense fatigue and drowsiness, libido problems, and can even cause a stroke in sufferers.
We can help you solve your sleep apnea problem, without compromising your comfort. The appliance we offer is flexible and comfortable. It's tailor-made for your mouth, like a sports mouthguard.
The function of this device is to hold your lower jaw in a forward position while you sleep, thus freeing the passage of air and preventing the obstruction that causes snoring and sleep apnea. It can also reduce bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching).
Improve your overall health with this tailor-made treatment. Enjoy restful sleep and stop feeling tired. Put an end to snoring-related conflicts with your partner, and stop worrying about disturbing those around you.
