Snoring and apnea

As research indicates, 60 percent of men between the ages of 40 and 60 snore. Contrary to appearances, this issue also affects women (40 percent). Many of us still consider snoring to be a simple inconvenience, not realizing that it can lead to serious health problems. A visit to the dentist can be a solution.

It happens that the cause of snoring can be malocclusions resulting from incorrect jaw position. Incorrect jaw positioning disrupts the airflow, causing snoring, which can ultimately lead to sleep apnea. And that is a serious health problem that affects not only a peaceful night's sleep but also, consequently, our peaceful day.

Headaches, constant fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, and high blood pressure are just a few of the effects we are exposed to due to sleep disturbances associated with seemingly inconvenient snoring.

For many patients, the solution could be wearing a special appliance at night that advances the jaw forward, improving the breathing process, eliminating snoring, and thereby guarding against sleep apnea. At Luxdentica, for mild or moderate sleep apnea, we offer our patients corrective jaw positioning appliances. These appliances move the lower jaw forward, normalizing airflow. We fit the appliances in the clinic or create them on an individual order.

For many of our patients, such a solution has brought them peaceful sleep.

If at night you or your loved ones are bothered by:

• Restless sleep - waking up with a racing heart,
• Irregular, loud snoring,
• Difficulty falling back asleep after waking up at night,
• Excessive sweating.

And during the day:

• Irritability,
• Headaches,
• Concentration problems,
• Constant drowsiness,
• Erectile dysfunction in men,
• Continuous dryness in the mouth,

Please consult a doctor.
