Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Sleep deprivation is one of the most serious health risks facing the workplace and our community today, quite often as a result of obstructive Sleep Apnoea, comprising 5% of the total population. Snoring is a result of partial blocking of the upper airways due to muscle relaxation, enlarged tongue, narrow jaws and alcohol to a certain extent. Placing a custom-made device, comprising upper and lower dental plates to reposition the lower jaw, quite often helps to open the upper airways and reduce snoring as well as improve the oxygen intake during sleep.
