Hi Everyone,
We just had our 1st Webinars this Monday and Tuesday, explaining the Ground-Breaking Vivos treatment. If you missed them, please call our office and we can get you a videotape. It is hard for me to put into words how excited our entire team is about being able to offer this revolutionary solution to Snoring & Sleep Apnea. There are 2 things I want you to be aware of:
|
|
1. No more CPAP or Dental Appliances: Both the CPAP and the Appliances we treat you with at Snore Experts are things you have to do for life. Meaning you have to wear them every night or you suffer the consequences. They treat the problem when you wear them but they don’t fix the problem. As you know, the problem is your tongue is too big for your mouth. So, it goes backwards, blocking your airway causing Snoring & Sleep Apnea. It keeps your brain from getting the vital Oxygen it needs.
|
|
The Vivos treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment lasting 18 – 24 months and in a pain-free way, expands your jaws to make room for your tongue. The result - - In a recent study, 25% of the participants at the end of treatment no longer needed to wear anything. Not a CPAP or a Dental Appliance. This is truly a next generation treatment
|
|
2. Kids: We have already discussed the fact that both Snoring & Sleep Apnea is about a Big Tongue in a Mouth that is too small. This happens between the ages of 2 and 12. The question always was “What if we could fix the kids? Make sure their mouth grew large enough to fit the tongue?” Well, now we can finally do this! Yes, by treating the kids, they should never Snore or have Sleep Apnea.

You are probably well aware of the massive increase in ADHD with our kids over previous generations. A number of studies are all pointing to the fact that many of these kids have airway issues. Meaning they are not getting Oxygen when they sleep. You can tell when you see them breathing through their mouth. By the way, “Mouth Breathing” is NOT normal. Nose Breathing IS. If you see a kid, or an adult, breathing through their mouth, their jaws are too small for their tongue and they are struggling to get Oxygen to their brain. At sleep, they struggle big time. With this new Vivos treatment, we can treat these kids to give them the proper jaw size they were supposed to have. Aside from feeling so much better, they will look better as well.
To find out more, call our office today and we can schedule a time to come in and discuss these treatments in more detail. If you have Children and/or Grandchildren who have allergies, ADHD, are Bed-wetting, Snoring, tired during the day, having behavioral issues and/or mouth-breathing get them in to see us. There is finally help.
To open airways, great sleep and optimal health for everyone.
Best - - Dr. Greenburg

With the release of two studies that try to untangle the relationship between sleep and brain health, specialists are offering some reassurance for anyone who's feeling anxious about optimizing their shuteye.
New research published Monday suggests that getting less than the recommended seven or eight hours of sleep each night might not be as harmful as expected for some people's brains.
That follows a study printed last week that suggests daytime napping could have some positive effects.

It's generally accepted that partners who live together also sleep together. While snuggle time might be good for our relationships, the benefits to our health are open to debate.
Known as sleep divorce, moving into separate beds or rooms from our loved ones isn't exactly unusual. According to the Sleep Foundation's 2023 survey of 1,250 adults in the US, 1.4 percent of respondents have slept separate from partners for a year or more.

Sleep is an essential physiological process crucial to maintaining overall health and well-being. It is often said humans can survive longer without food than without sleep. While the exact duration varies from person to person, sleep deprivation can have severe consequences on physical and mental health, experts insist. In the Know Your Body series, we ask experts about the importance of sleep vis-a-vis food.

|
Having trouble getting a good night’s rest? You’re not alone. Overloaded schedules, increased screen time, and growing stress and anxiety have all amounted to one fact: most of us aren’t getting the quality or the quantity of sleep we should be.

Name: Steven S.
Age: 44
Years of snoring: 9
Number of snoring products tried: 3
Experience: When I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, I procrastinated for many years and ignored the results of three different sleep tests because I did not want to use a CPAP machine. After realizing how serious my condition was, and feeling exhausted before my day even started, I contacted Dr. Greenburg for help. With his sophisticated equipment he made my sleep apnea appliance. I was excited about wearing it as an alternative to the CPAP. From the very first night I experienced an improvement in my sleeping and even felt rested in the morning. Best of all my wife is finally getting her well deserved sleep! I would never again think of going to sleep without my appliance.

Q: How can I tell if my CPAP pressure needs adjusting? (Elizabeth K.)
A: Elizabeth, not enough air pressure from your CPAP equipment will also lead to ineffective therapy. Generally, you will need enough pressure to keep your airway open rather than collapsing, ensuring you get the oxygen your body needs throughout the night.
Many CPAP users whose pressure is too low will experience more than five apnea or hypopnea events per hour, meaning their therapy is ineffective. These users will continue to experience the negative effects of sleep apnea, including poor sleep, waking up gasping for air, feeling air-starved, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, and others.
Another sign your air pressure may be too low is continuing to snore loudly during your CPAP therapy. Proper air pressure should keep your airway open through the night, so if you're still snoring while using your CPAP machine, and your mask isn't leaking, then your pressure may need to be increased.
Finally, CPAP users with low pressure can experience aerophagia, as gasping for air during the night causes them to "swallow" air into their stomachs. As with aerophagia caused by pressure that's too high, these users will have problems with bloating, gas, discomfort, and excessive belching.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I've been consistent with my CPAP treatment. How come I'm still tired? (Abby U.)
A: Abby, the science explains that there is a residual sleepiness in some patients with sleep apnea, which takes time to disappear.
Or there could be hidden problems that directly affect your therapy that may or may not be connected to your CPAP.
Your CPAP could have a mask leak, or the device may not be putting off enough air pressure for you to experience benefits. In these cases it's a matter of consulting with your Sleep Doctor for a solution.
