| SNORING? Cure it with as few as two visits to our specialized dental clinic |
|
|
|
StopRonk® is an effective treatment in patients with snoring and mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea and is associated with fewer side effects and greater patient satisfaction than alternative methods. StopRonk® treatment is provided by different types of small oral appliances used only during sleep that prevents the jaw and tongue from dropping back into the throat and closing off the air passage. Keeping the airway open greatly reduces or avoids snoring. |

| Snoring is both a sleeping and a social disorder | |
Snoring has been identified as a risk factor for hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. If you snore, you are not getting the rest you should from your sleep. You may also be at risk for obstructive sleep apnea and other serious health disorders. Snoring not only robs you of the rest you need from your
sleep, it also robs those closest to you. You both wake up
tired, and often feel grouchy during the day. Snoring is the
villain. |

| Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) | |
| OSA is a common chronic disorder of sleep and breathing that may present as pathological sleepiness with respiratory and/or cardiovascular complications. OSA is related to repetitive partial or complete upper airway obstruction which develops during sleep with manifestations that include snoring, apnea and hypopnea. The treatment of OSA depends upon the severity of symptoms, magnitude of clinical complications and etiology of the upper airway obstruction. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment method for OSA, but some patients are unable or unwilling to tolerate it on a long-term basis. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), maxillomandibular surgery and oral appliances (OA) have been proposed as alternative therapeutic approaches. | |

| Treatment of snoring with Oral Appliances | |
| Oral appliances are being increasingly considered as treatment options for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The types of appliances currently available are designed to alter different aspects of the oropharyngcal space; e.g., tongue retaining devices, mandibular repositioning devices, etc. | |
