Snoring/Sleep Apnea Appliance

Almost half of adults snore and the problem is worse with overweight individuals.  Snoring occurs when there is a partial obstruction to the free flow of air through the mouth and nose.  Snoring can be the precursor of sleep apnea and has been linked to heart failure, high blood pressure, stroke, and Type II Diabeters.  Heavy snorers are most likely to suffer a heart attack while sleeping than non-snorers.  Dentists can control snoring with an oral appliance. 

People who suffer from Sleep Apnea are twice as likely to be in a car crash.
 
Sleep Apnea has been associated with:
- Hypertension
- Heart Failure
- High Blood Pressure
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Heart Beat Irregularity
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Mental Impairment
- Depression
- Obesity
- Increased risk of Heart Attack while Sleeping

Custom Oral appliances for Snoring and Sleep Apnea can be constructed by your dentist.  When these appliances are used correctly they can help your snoring/sleep apnea and have major benefits to your overall health.
