Snoring
Virtually all of us snore from time to time. In fact, it's estimated that as many as 25 percent of us snore regularly. For some, snoring is no more than an occasional, inconvenient habit; but chronic, heavy, loud snoring can be more serious. Snoring usually occurs when a person's airway at the back of the throat constricts, causing air to be inhaled at an increased speed and pressure. This causes the soft tissue in the back of the mouth to vibrate creating the snoring noise. Simple snoring can disturb others and cause a dry mouth or sore throat. Heavy snoring is often a symptom of sleep apnea which is frequently associated with hypertension, stroke and other cardiopulmonary problems.
The SUAD (TM) Device is a premium oral appliance developed for the treatment of snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea to prevent the tissues at the back of your throat and the base of your tongue from collapsing and blocking your airway. Because your tongue is connected to the lower jaw by muscles, if you move your lower jaw forward into a comfortable position, you will automatically move your tongue out of the airway.
The SUAD (TM) Device is similar in design to an orthodontic appliance or athletic mouth guard. The upper and lower forms are custom made from impressions taken of your teeth. The fit is excellent and comfortable. Due to the unique design of The SUAD (TM) Device, you will still be able to open your mouth wide, talk, yawn, and even swallow.
Clinical trials have shown that dental appliances are up to 90 percent effective in treatment simple snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. In fact, many users say they wake up feeling more rested and energetic in the morning!
