When patients snore they struggle to breath and this can affect blood pressure during sleep. By prescribing the Silent Nite, dentists can provide most patients with cost effective snoring relief.
What causes snoring?
When people sleep, the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax. This makes the breathing airway smaller and therefore air moves through the passageway with increased velocity. When the velocity of the air increases, the soft tissues of the uvula and soft palate vibrate. It is this vibration that we commonly refer to as snoring. Medicine and Dentistry have tried surgical techniques to reduce snoring. These supposed surgical remedies have only shown moderate success. For many “snorers”, the most affordable, non-invasive, comfortable and effective snoring solution is a dentist prescribed snoring preventative device such as the Silent Nite.
How Does the Silent Nite Prevent Snoring?
Snoring research shows that dental devices worn at night can move the lower jaw into a forward position. This effectively increases the 3 dimensional space in the airway and thus reduces air velocity and vibration of soft tissues in throat. By increasing the volume capacity of the airway and preventing soft tissue vibrations, snoring is eliminated. The Silent Nite device positions the lower jaw into a forward position by means of special connectors that are attached to transparent flexible upper & lower form. The forms are custom laminated with heat and pressure to the dentist’s model of the mouth.

Testimonial:
“Dear Dr. Tom and staff,
You are miracle workers! When Priscilla and Neveah walked into Life Choices last week after visiting you, we all went to pieces. There wasn’t a dry eye here. Even though we have known Priscilla for years, we seldom saw her smile or laugh.
She was very self conscious about her teeth. This was even felt by little Neveah. We would have to work very hard to receive a smile from her too. Now we see her smiling all the time. You are angels in our eyes. The gift you have given is life changing.”
