Snoring is the result of nasopharyngeal constriction, which is primarily noticeable by a more or less disturbing noise level during sleep. Much more important than the annoying noise, however, is the possible reduced oxygen intake during the sleep phase.
If breathing stops occur, this is referred to as OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome). The lack of oxygen leads to awakening as a protective reflex and thus to permanent sleep interruption with the consequences of daytime sleepiness, lack of concentration, increased irritability, memory disorders and headaches.
Scientific studies report massive damage to the nervous system as well as effects on various vital organs, which can lead to depression, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and strokes, among other things.
Today, different measures are used as therapy options:
In our practice, after consultation with your ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat ) doctor and/or the sleep laboratory, we offer you treatment with UPS devices (= mandibular protrusion splints) made individually for you.
Snoring is not only a health burden for the affected person, but also reduces the well-being of the listener (bed neighbor). In many cases snoring puts partnerships to the test. This does not have to be. Stop this (double) burden and make an appointment with us.
Because: Separate bedrooms are not a solution.
We will help you, discretion is a matter of course.
