Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Snoring and sleep apnea is a serious problem for millions. It is linked to high blood pressure, strokes and even cardiac arrest. Snoring can also be disruptive to personal and family life.
If you find that surgical procedures or CPAP is not improving the quality of a night's sleep. With a referral from your physician, Dr. Goteiner will be glad to review and recommend an appliance that will help you get a good nights sleep.
The sleep appliance is worn only at night and is made of acrylic for patient comfort and retention. It moves the lower jaw and tongue slightly forward to open up the airway and prevent snoring and apnea. This is a safe, effective and painless way to treat persons who snore and those with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
