SILENT NITE SNORING DEVICE Approximately 80 million people in North America have a snoring problem. This disorder is usually very disturbing to friends or family who are trying to sleep as well. The Silent Nite appliance is a custom-made snore prevention device that is flexible, thin and comfortable to wear for the patient. The Silent Nite has exhibited excellent clinical success for preventing annoying and unhealthy snoring. This device is relatively inexpensive and can eliminate snoring in most cases.
Relaxed and collapsed airway produces soft tissue vibrations during breathing which results in snoring.	The SILENT NITE device prevents snoring by opening the airway and making breathing easier.
WHAT CAUSES SNORING? During sleep, the muscles and soft tissue in the throat and mouth relax making the breathing airway smaller. This decrease in the airway  space increases the velocity of air flowing through the airway during breathing. As the velocity of required air is increased in the constricted space, soft tissues like the soft palate and the uvula vibrate. These vibrations of the soft tissue in the mouth and throat result in snoring. It should also be noted that sleep studies have shown that excess body weight, heavy alcohol consumption and other sedatives have been shown to increase the severity of snoring. Surgical techniques to remove respiration impairing structures such as uvula, enlarged tonsils and adenoids have been among the many attempted snoring remedies. These soft tissue surgical procedures have shown only moderate success rates (e.g. 20to 40%). At certain levels of severity, complete blockage of the airway space by the soft tissues and the tongue can occur. If the period of asphyxiation lasts longer than 10 seconds, this is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA can be a serious medical condition and we may refer you to a sleep specialist . For the majority of snorers however, the most affordable, noninvasive, comfortable, and effective snoring solution can be prescribed by our office for the Silent Nite device.	HOW DOSE 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 airway tube which reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration. By increasing the air capacity of the airway and preventing soft tissue vibrations, snoring is eliminated. In clinical research studies, 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 made with heat  and pressure to the dental models of the mouth. The fit is excellent and comfortable. 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 (temporomandiblar joint or TMJ) are possible while wearing a SILENT NITE device. This movement potential helps minimize stiffness in the joints of the jaw in the morning. The SILENT NITE device may produce a slight sensation of the jaws being out of alignment upon wakening. This feeling is due to lymphatic fluid build up in the jaw joint that occurs overnight and will rapidly subside in minutes.
