Anti Snoring Devices
Why Would Anybody SNORE Anymore?
For those ashamed of the ‘loud sound’ that they make when asleep, Dentes Clinic offers the perfect solution in Silensor-sl. The device is a success in almost all cases since the noise involved in snoring is caused by constriction of the airways. It has a compact design and does not inhibit breathing through the mouth.
Snoring is a serious health hazard especially in older people and can even reduce life expectancy. Risk of car accidents and industrial
accidents involving employees with monotonous jobs individuals who are found to be tired due to bad sleep resulting from snoring. That's when the silensor-sl is significat. With the silensor-sl, the lower jaw and the tongue are held in a protrusive (forward) position which opens up the airways stopping the snoring sounds when asleep. This stops the snoring sounds, instead you get a good night’s sleep and you wake up raring to go.
Snoring
Snoring as we all know is the sound caused while sleeping and is caused by the obstruction of airflow through the passageway during breathing when asleep. The decreasing muscle tone during the sleep causes a narrowing of the upper respiratory tract, either from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat. This narrowing accelerates the respiratory airflow, thereby various structures in the area of the upper respiratory tract start to vibrate and cause the snoring noise.
It can be a major cause for sleep disturbances resulting in stress, lack of energy, poor concentration and mood swings which can even lead to high blood pressure and heart problems in the long run.
The effectiveness of the Silensor-sl
The Silensor-sl consists of one splint for the upper jaw and one for the lower jaw. The lower jaw is either held in a predetermined position or advanced by 2 connectors that are fixed laterally to the splint. The Silensor-sl thus counteracts the narrowing of the respiratory tracts. The velocity of the inspired air decreases and so do noise-generating vibrations of soft tissues. With the Silensor-sl jaw movements are possible but no falling back of the lower jaw. With this function the Silensor-sl is a comfortable and at the same time effective snoreguard.

Why sports mouthguards?According to the American Dental Association, more than 2,00,000 injuries are prevented annually in the United States by sports mouthguards. The National Youth Sports Foundation, however, estimates that more than 5 million teeth are lost by sports activities every year in the United States.

Sports mouthguards are not all equal!
- Boil & Bite mouthguards fit poorly and become loose. The athlete has to hold this mouthguard onto the teeth, this prevents him from producing outstanding performances
- Many scientific studies show that a Boil & Bite mouthguard provides a false sense of protection due to the dramatic decrease in thickness when the athlete bites it into place during its softened state (biting through)
- Playsafe triple is suited for all sports
- The hard inter layer comprises the whole guard
- Highest protection with smallest extent
Playsafe Triple
