A short article on how the Somnodent miracle mouth appliance stopped Dr. Reifman's snoring and sleep apnea and literally changed his life! ...
"A few months ago I attended a weekend seminar on Obstructive Sleep Disorders and took an overnight sleep study as part of the course. When I received the results the following morning, the computer software showed that I actually had mild to moderate sleep apnea.
"YIKES! " I thought in disbelief. Incredibly surprised was an understatement.
After all, I didn't fit the usual sleep apnea stereotypes, since I am not overweight, don't smoke, don't wake up tired, and am physically active playing volleyball twice a week, not to mention being a gym nut. However, I did know that my wife complains of my snoring.
What to do? I already knew that the 'over-the-counter' snoring remedies didn't truly work, and worst of all, they could mask an underlying and deadly sleep apnea that millions of people have, and don't even know about. I definitely didn't want to wear the bulky CPAP mask at night (see picture below), and so tried the Somnodent, one of the more popular mouth appliances around - and boy, did it work!
After I received my new mouth appliance from the lab, I wore it that first night. Although it was pretty comfortable, I noticed my saliva increasing during the first hour of sleep every night for about a week, which was about how long it took me to get used to wearing it.
The exciting news was that in less than a week of wearing it, my wife told me my snoring was ALL GONE, and some of the restless movements I had in my legs at night were also gone. I also noticed my case of mild blood pressure I've had for years- had already substantially diminished! AND... no more sleep apnea. With my success, I feel fortunate in being able to really communicate to and help others stop their snoring, and their apnea. The alternatives of further heart problems, higher blood pressure, and stroke are just too dangerous an option to consider."

Did you know?... Loud snoring and sleep apnea can shorten your life span by 10 years!
90 million people in the country snore or have sleep apnea, and usually don't even know it! And for those millions of people who feel that treating sleep apnea and snoring must be done with a nightly oxygen mask shown below, this is a real breakthrough in comfort AND compliance. Snoring can be a sign of Sleep Apnea, something you definitely do NOT want. If left untreated, apnea can lead to chronic anxiety, depression, blood pressure problems, heart attacks, and even strokes. You may snore, and not even be aware that you could have life-threatening sleep apnea.
The CPAP Oxygen Mask (below) has a real Compliance Problem: Many people simply find it too uncomfortable to use.
Although the CPAP machine (above) is considered the 'gold standard' in treating sleep apnea to work effectively, it must be worn continuously through the night.
However, many patients remove it during the early morning hours. Some of the reasons people remove their CPAP are due to: feelings of claustrophobia when wearing it, irritation of the skin around their nose and mouth and feeling loose or uncomfortable when moving onto their side. Other common complaints Dr. Reifman hears are: "it doesn't feel good", "it feels loose when I move around in bed", or "its just a pain to wear!"
Once the frazzled CPAP wearer tosses the mask onto the bedroom table in the wee hours of the morning, the positive effects of the CPAP are naturally gone. The cessations of oxygen to the lungs begins again, and one's sleep apnea re-appears with a vengeance. The rest of the time spent in bed results in a lack of Phase 4, or deep sleep. This is usually when REM, or dream sleep occurs.
The final result? You wake up not feeling rested, your blood pressure is higher, and all the other dangerous and unhealthy problems associated with loud snoring and sleep apnea come back with a vengeance.
Wearing the Somnomed Oral Appliance is the answer- its far more comfortable than the CPAP Oxygen mask!
