Snoring and Sleep Apnea

It has been estimated that 90 million people in North America have breathing problems leading to snoring and sleep apnea. People who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea have a higher incidence of heart attack and strokes due to high blood pressure as a result of lack of oxygen.

Snoring occurs when the tongue partially blocks the airway when someone sleeps on their back and sleep apnea occurs when the tongue completely blocks the airway. Both situations are harmful since the person is deprived of oxygen.

The Homeoblock™ appliance makes more room for the tongue and increases the size of the airway. Both situations increase oxygen flow. The benefits of the Homeoblock™ appliance protocol in the area of sleep and breathing disorders continue to be tested.
