Sleep apnea is a common and serious sleeping disorder that happens when your regular breathing is interrupted during sleep. Snoring is common among patients with sleep apnea but not all snorers have sleep apnea. Our professional dentist at our Dental Clinic offers patients suffering from certain types of sleep apnea relief with custom mouth appliances – these are designed to keep airways open during sleep and reduce snoring for healthier sleep patterns. And the Snore Guard is a custom-fabricated dental device that adjusts the lower jaw into a forward position, increasing space in the airway tube and reducing air velocity and soft tissue vibration. Slide-Link connectors are attached to transparent flexible upper and lower splints. The splints are custom laminated with heat and pressure to the dentist’s model of the mouth. The fit is excellent and comfortable, permitting small movements of the jaw (TMJ) and allowing uninhibited oral breathing.
