The Silencer: Treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnea

The night hours are for deep sleep and preparing the body and mind for the next day. But snoring and sleep apnea interrupt sleep, much to the frustration of both the sufferer and their loved ones. Over the years, doctors have recommended many different treatments for snoring and sleep apnea. Some offered levels of relief, but for most, snoring persisted and sleep apnea continued to be a health concern.

There have been some breakthroughs in the treatment for snoring and sleep apnea in the past few years, but one dental invention that’s been proven to work is the Silencer System. This appliance fits in the mouth for night time use. The Silencer prevents airway obstructions that cause snoring. It’s a removable device that offers the following benefits.

• Make breathing easier
• It’s customized and comfortable
• Eliminates the need for machines and masks
• Limits the need for surgical intervention

The Silencer was invented by Dr. Wayne Halstrom in the 1990s. It works while people sleep and often takes the place of sleep apnea breathing machines that are bulky and uncomfortable. To use it, dentists take an impression of a patient’s teeth, then create a customized appliance that's ready for use in about 10 days.

Dr. Vladimir Gashinsky uses The Silencer on his patients that suffer from snoring or sleep apnea. This procedure is performed in his dental office in Millburn, New Jersey. To find out more about Dr. G and his treatment for snoring and sleep apnea, visit www.drgdds.com.
