Dental Sleep Appliances: Stop Snoring. Start Living!

February 21, 2025
Stop Snoring. Start Living

For years, Mayra had complained that she was always tired. After receiving a Silent Nite®Sleep Appliance in 2020, she noticed a positive difference in her life. Overall, she now feels healthier. She’s more rested in the mornings, and her kids are no longer disturbed by her snoring.

The fit of my Silent Nite is great; it’s so comfortable to wear. My sleep quality has improved, and I feel more energetic every day.

Stop Snoring. Start Living!

A dentist-prescribed sleep appliance provides relief to patients who snore or have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

  • The Silent Nite appliance is one of the most popular anti-snoring devices available, used by patients for more than 25 years.
  • The device is designed with comfort in mind, helping people sleep better throughout the night.
Snoring is due to a partially collapsed airway

Snoring is due to a partially collapsed airway (left). During sleep, the muscles, ligaments and tissues of the airway relax, and the tongue falls into the back of the throat, causing a partial airway obstruction. As air rushes over the relaxed tissues, they vibrate, creating the snoring sound. When the airway fully collapses, airflow is cut off and obstructive sleep apnea occurs (middle). With a sleep appliance, the lower jaw is gently shifted forward, creating an unrestricted airway (right).

Learn how the Silent Nite appliance works and ask your dentist if treatment is right for you.

Since I started using the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance my sleep has improved. I’m not snoring anymore, and the difference has been huge for me and my family. It has impacted my quality of sleep and ultimately my life.
– Jose, Sleep Patient

About 50% of people say they snore .1 For some people, it can be a chronic problem, which can sometimes also indicate a serious health condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This condition is often characterized by loud snoring followed by periods of silence when breathing stops or nearly stops. Eventually, this reduction or pause in breathing may signal the person to wake up, and they may awaken with a loud snort or gasping sound.

When do people seek treatment for snoring?

As many as 70% of patients who seek treatment for snoring and sleep apnea cite bed partner disturbance as the primary motivating factor.2 Daytime sleepiness is also a main reason people seek treatment.

How can I prevent snoring?

For the majority of snorers, the most affordable, noninvasive, comfortable and effective solution is a snore prevention device, such as the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance, prescribed by your dentist. The appliance treats snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea by gently shifting the lower jaw forward during sleep, which increases airway space and reduces air velocity and soft-tissue vibration.
