It is estimated that about 45% of men and approximately 30% of women snore. Dr. Farnoosh, a cosmetic dentist from Los Angeles has developed and holds patents for techniques to reduce snoring.
Beverly Hills, CA, January 05, 2009 — One in fifteen adults snore. Not only does snoring affect the individual but also those around them. People who snore excessively, rarely manage to get a good night’s sleep and are often tired during the day. A Beverly Hills periodontist has invested hours of research to develop innovative and affordable methods to reduce snoring. Dr. Farnoosh is a highly renowned cosmetic dentist (http://www.thetotalsmile.com/doctor.cfm) and has years of experience helping patients who suffer from severe snoring.
While snoring is generally not considered a life threatening illness, it can be indicative of a dangerous disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This occurs when either the upper airway collapses or is obstructed by an object such as the tongue. As a result, breathing stops completely for 10 seconds or longer. This can result in sever medical consequences and in extreme cases, even death. However, not all snorers experience Apnea. The severity of snoring can vary by degrees, from light and relatively harmless to quite acute. The severe snorer usually suffers from some type of airway resistance and wakes up several times during the night due to the loud noise.
There are many snoring remedies and devices available on the market today. These can be worn inside or outside of the mouth. . They are designed to keep the airway open and free from obstructions. Another method uses air pressure and requires the snorer to wear a nasal device. This method is known as CPAP and may cause some discomfort.
One of the more common and effective devices is a mouthpiece that is worn like an orthodontic retainer or a bite guard. It is custom-made for each individual to be used while sleeping and is designed to keep the airway open by preventing the blockage of air by the jaw & tongue. According to Dr. Farnoosh, “The vast majority of patients who are using the device, see a dramatic decline in their snoringâ€.
Persistent snoring should not be ignored. Not only does it cause a disruption in sleep patterns but severe snoring can contribute to cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Dr Farnoosh urges anyone who suffers from sever snoring or sleep Apnea, to consult with a specialist.
