Silent Nite is a custom-made dental appliance that shifts the lower jaw into a forward position, opening the airway increasing oxygen levels while decreasing soft tissue vibration that cause snoring and sleep apnea

During sleep, muscles and soft tissues in the throat and mouth relax, shrinking the airway. This increases the velocity of airflow during breathing. As the velocity of required air is increased, soft tissues like the soft palate and uvula vibrate. The vibrations of these tissues result in snoring. And snoring doesn’t merely interrupt your sleep cycle. The struggle for breath can result in increased blood pressure, which can damage the walls of the carotid arteries and increase the risk of stroke. At certain levels of severity, complete blockage of the airway space can occur. If this period of asphyxiation lasts longer than 10 seconds, it is referred to as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a medical condition with serious long-term effects.
