\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We have a patient who treated himself for snoring.\u00a0 He saw this great ad for a device on the internet.\u00a0 It was fairly inexpensive and easy to use.\u00a0 It was made of soft plastic that you boil and then fit to your own teeth.\u00a0 The device was\u00a0designed to bring the jaw forward so the tongue would not block the airway and thus stop the snoring.\u00a0\u00a0 Most people could probably tolerate such a generic appliance, but for some, this may cause a problem, as in the case of our patient.\u00a0\u00a0 (If you visit our website (https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/gum-disease-treatment.html<\/a>), you can learn more about how muscles, teeth, and nerves all work together for maximum function of chewing, breathing, and positioning the jaw.\u00a0 This is called neuromuscular dentistry.\u00a0)<\/p>\n

When the teeth are placed in an abnormal position (as with this night-time OTC snore device), it affects not only the teeth, but the muscles that control\u00a0the position of the jaw.\u00a0 When this OTC appliance was boiled and\u00a0fitted by the patient, the lower jaw was not lined up properly with the upper teeth.\u00a0 This torqued the jaw to the right and put stress on the left jaw joint.\u00a0 After wearing this devise for three months in this position at night, the left jaw joint developed clicking, popping and pain.\u00a0\u00a0 The patient was also unable to bring his back teeth together, which put even more stress on the jaw joints and made chewing difficult.\u00a0 Had the patient not developed jaw pain and sought intervention, his joints might have become permently remodeled to this new position and surgery may have been required.\u00a0 Thankfully we were able to release the muscles with electrical stimulation (TENS) and he was able to get his teeth back together.\u00a0\u00a0 At the Center For Advanced Dentistry, we are able to treat snoring and sleep apnea with a custom made appliance that is worn at\u00a0 night.\u00a0 This design is created using the principles of neuromuscular dentistry to prevent<\/em> the onset of problems with TMD pain and other jaw problems.\u00a0 If you snore and want a device designed just for you that is scientifically proven to\u00a0relieve\u00a0the problems associated with snoring and sleep apnea, call\u00a0our office today.\u00a0 \u00a0Don’t treat yourself when\u00a0the best professional help is just a phone call away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
