Snore Prevention
Sleep more soundly, breathe easier and wake more refreshed. Silent Nite is more than 85% effective at eliminating snoring.
 
 
 
WHAT CAUSES SNORING?
During sleep, the muscles & soft tissues
in the throat and mouth relax making the
breathing airway smaller. This decrease in
space increases the velocity of air flowing
through the airway during breathing. As
the velocity increases in the constricted
space, the soft tissues like the soft palate
and the uvula vibrate producing the classic snoring sound.1 It should also be noted that sleep studies have shown that excess body weight, heavy alcohol consumption and sedatives have been shown to increase the severity of snoring.

HOW DOES THE SILENT NITE PREVENT SNORING?
The SILENT NITE snoring prevention device gently positions the lower jaw into a forward position by means of special connectors that are attached to transparent flexible upper & lower forms. These upper and lower forms are custom laminated with heat and pressure to a model of your mouth. They have an excellent fit and are very comfortable since they have a soft inner layer. With your lower jaw slightly forward, the airway stays open and prevents soft tissue vibrations which cause snoring. Even with congested nasal Relaxed and collapsed airway produces soft tissue vibrations during breathing which results in snoring.  With a SILENT NITE device the airway remains open allowing easier breathing and snoring prevention.

Sleep more soundly, breathe easier and wake more refreshed. Silent Nite is more than
85% effective at eliminating snoring. passages, the SILENT NITE device prevents snoring and does not inhibit oral breathing. It has also been proven effective in cases of
Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
