Upon rearching the the internet in an attempt to familarise my self with this condition I came across your websitet. It seems to me that the oral device Full Breath would be the ideal asssitance in easing this condition. As I live in the UK and unfortunately I am unlikely to be in LA could you please advise how I would be able to purchase the oral device Full Breath? Can I do it directly from you, do you have agents in the UK? If I could you please forward details to my email site. Perhaps publishing a reply on this website would assist any further suffers outside if the USA. Thank you for your kind understanding. Yvonne Dear Dr Greenburg,

However, the only way I have been completely successful (keeping the machine on all night, without taking it off very early in the morning) has been to take a perscription strength sleeping pill, so that I can get to sleep and stay asleep despite the whistles and squeaks of my appliance. I'm comfortable and used to it, but, the sleeping pill started give me fairly severe memory problems, so I stopped taking the Tamazapan and, while I can usually get to sleep, I wind up taking the machine off after only a few hours because I keep waking up and can't go back to sleep. I was diagnosed with both obstructive and central sleep apnea which worked out to breathing stopping about 27 times an hour and my oxygen, in the brain level, going down to 63%. Will your machine take care of both my types of sleep apnea? I exercise by dancing and I like to go on cruises or bible retreats and my machine makes me not a acceptable room sharing partner, plus, it is quite bulky. My last cruise, the machine wouldn't work, for some reason, and my room partner was awake the whole night. She even put the tv on and I slept right through it, snoring at 24 decibals and keeping her awake. I live in the San Gabriel area of LA County, and am a medicare covered, retired teacher with SCAN. Would your device and testing be covered? And would it work for someone with a central sleep apnea condition? Toni Dear Dr. Greenburg,

We have a patented oral device that is unlike the old style appliances. The old technology is a Mandibular Advancement Appliance and moves your jaw forward to make more room for the airway. There are several different styles, but most of the old type fit on both the upper and lower teeth. Our appliance is unique in that it fits on the upper teeth and has a "tab" that depresses the tongue down, addressing the obstruction..the tongue... You are welcome to call me directly at 888-31-SNORE and I or someone on my staff will be happy to share more with you or send you some literature. Thanks again for the comment.

This is a common problem and treatable. The first thing you need to do is make an appointment with a snoring and sleep apnea specialist. You need to find out if your snoring is actually a symptom of sleep apnea, which does have very serious health risks like heart attacks and strokes. If you are in the Los Angeles area, give me a call at 888-31-SNORE and I will be glad to see you at no charge and let you know what your options are. The most important thing is to see someone. Don't wait until your marriage is at risk and you're kicked out of the bedroom. This is a completely treatable condition, and it's non invasive. Hello Embarrassed Husband,
