Stop Snoring
Sometimes when we sleep, the muscles that hold the
airway open relax and partially collapse, obstructing the flow of air slightly.
Air passing through the partially collapsed airway can cause a vibrating sound
known as snoring.
What The SomnoDent™ MAS Does
The appliance is for the effective treatment of snoring
and for the more serious condition of obstructive sleep apnea.
Snoring as an Indicator of Obstructive sleep Apnea
Snoring can create irritability and mood swings and
subsequent relationship problems.
Snoring may however, be the sign of a serious condition
known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). While not everyone who snores suffers
from obstructive sleep apnea, Dr. Julie suggests that if you have been heard to
gasp or breath or have sudden spells of drowsiness during the day, then you
should obtain a referral to a qualified sleep medicine physician.
