Silent Nite® As a Solution for Snoring
Silent Nite® is a custom-made corrective device designed to alleviate snoring.

The device consists of upper and lower splints that fit comfortably over your teeth, made from soft materials for comfort and a hard outer layer for durability.

The Severity of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a more serious condition characterized by disrupted breathing during sleep. Individuals with sleep apnea may experience frequent pauses in breathing, which can lead to restless nights and excessive daytime sleepiness. Symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and waking up feeling unrefreshed.
If you suspect you have sleep apnea, it’s essential to seek treatment. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to a range of health issues, including cardiovascular problems and impaired cognitive function.
Optisleep Offers an Effective Solution for Sleep Apnea
One of the most effective treatments for sleep apnea is the Optisleep appliance. This custom-made, two-piece device works by gently advancing the lower jaw, which helps keep the airway open during sleep. By preventing the tongue from blocking the airway and relaxing the tissues in the throat, Optisleep allows for sound and consistent breathing throughout the night.
Benefits of Optisleep

- Reduced Snoring: Helps minimize snoring, leading to a quieter sleeping environment for you and your partner.
- Comfortable and Durable: Custom-fitted for your mouth, Optisleep is designed for ease of use.
