From tiredness to ill health
Sleep disturbance due
to snoring and sleep apnoea may potentially cause daily tiredness and
concentration problems, heart problems and
an increased risk of heart attack and strokes.
Sleep apnoea may also cause morning headaches, depression and relationship
problems.
The simple and quick solution
The TAP adjustable prescription splint
is an effective, 1st stop non-surgical solution for many snoring and
sleep apnoea conditions. The adjustable acrylic splint which you wear
whilst you are sleeping maintains your jaw in a forward position,
keeping the airway open without
the need for surgery.
Your dentist simply takes impressions of both jaws
and registers their relationship to each other. The dental laboratory
fabricates your custom
splint and then it is checked for a comfortable fit in the mouth.
The
splint can be adjusted by the patient for complete comfort and effectiveness.
The results can be immediate and effective with a success
rate of 96% for people treated with the TAP appliance.

Other
self help measures
There
are also other self help preventive measures which may reduce your likelihood
of snoring:
• Avoid large meals and alcohol before sleeping.
• If you are overweight attempt to lose weight.
• Try not to sleep on your back.
• Sleep with your head slightly raised.
• Talk with your pharmacist or GP about non-drowsy alternatives to any
medications you require- as these may influence your breathing whilst
sleeping.
• If possible, avoid dry atmospheres whilst sleeping.
Enjoy a good night’s sleep… on TAP.
