One Third of the Population Snores

It is estimated that more than 80 million people in North America snore while sleeping. Spouses and children are often repeatedly disturbed during their sleep cycles by a snoring family member, which can lead to tensions and animosity.

Snoring can kill you, according to a UCLA School of Dentistry study: the struggle for breath can result in soaring blood pressure which can damage the walls of the carotid arteries and increase the risk of stroke. Fortunately, using the Silent Nite snore prevention device, dentists can now provide most persons with cost effective relief.

How Does the Silent Nite Prevent Snoring?

Snoring research has also shown that custom fabricated dental devices worn at night that move the lower jaw into a forward position, increase the three dimensional space in the air way tube which reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration. By increasing the volumetric capacity of the airway and prevention soft tissue vibrations, snoring is eliminated. In clinical research studies, these dentist prescribed oral devices have exhibited initial snoring prevention success rates of between 70 to 100%. The SILENT NITE device positions the lower jaw into a forward position by means of special connectors that are attached to transparent flexible upper and lower forms. The forms are custom laminated with heat and pressure to the dentist’s model of the mouth. The fit is excellent and comfortable..

Breathing is Easier With Silent Nite

Silent Nite devices do not interfere with breathing through the mouth. Even in cases of congested nasal passages the device prevents snoring and allows uninhibited oral breathing. Small movements of the jaw are possible while wearing a Silent Nite device. This movement potential helps minimize stiffness in the joints of the jaw in the morning. Silent Nite devices help promote deeper, more restful sleep by preventing snoring.
