Sleep Apnoea

There are two types of sleep apnoea – Central and Obstructive. Central sleep apnoea causes an interruption of signals from your brain which tells your lungs to breath.  Central is less common but much more serious than Obstructive sleep apnoea. This is usually diagnosed by your physician/specialist (2-6). Obstructive sleep apnoea is more widespread and also a serious medical condition that can lead to conditions such as high blood pressure and stroke. It involves an actual airway obstruction that prevents air from making its way through to the lungs (2-6).

 

Solutions

For the majority of snorers, the most affordable, non-invasive, comfortable and effective snoring solution remains a dentist-prescribed, oral snoring pre-emptive device such as the Erkodent Silensor-sl. This affordable device is flexible, thin and comfortable for you and it exhibits documented clinical success in reducing or even preventing the disruptive, unhealthy effects of snoring and sleep apnoea (2,7).

 

How Silensor-sl prevents snoring and improves air flow?

Silensor-sl is a custom handmade fabricated dental device that moves the lower jaw into a forward position, increasing space in the airway tube and reducing air velocity and soft tissue vibration. Special connectors 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, permitting small movements of the jaw (TMJ) and allowing uninhibited oral breathing (2,7).

To Keep In Mind

It seems as if overnight one DIY product after another began to surface on the internet and on Grabone advertising, all promising you the best night sleep ever. Some devices were developed by actual doctors who specialise in sleep medicine, some by dentists and orthodontists, while others were simply inventors looking to make money on the latest trend.

 

Dynamic Dentures strongly believes and cares for the health and wellbeing of our patients, and we strongly recommend that all our patients seek health professional advice from dentists/doctors before making a decision on any sleep apnoea appliances that are offered on the market. We are happy to refer and arrange this in your local area for FREE!
