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

From avoiding certain beverages to uncrossing your legs, here's how you can catch up on your sleep debt.
Whether you're flying a long-haul or short-haul flight, either can prove difficult for passengers who often suffer from the inability to fall soundly asleep on the plane. If the failure to catch up on a mounting sleep debt was not bad enough, seeing their fellow passengers resting effortlessly probably doesn't help the situation either.
Fortunately for these sleep-deprived passengers, some proven methods could help them catch some much-needed rest on their flights. From the seats chosen to certain quirky behaviors and avoiding certain beverages, here are the top five tips for falling asleep better when flying.

In 1818 Johann Christian August Heinroth, considered to have been the first professor of psychiatry at a university, suggested that sleep deprivation might alleviate “melancholia,” or depression. But it wasn’t until 1959 that formal reports began to emerge, again from Germany, suggesting that a night of sleeplessness could boost mood in depression.

Natural light, for at least some parts of the day, can promote better sleep
Being outdoors for at least some parts of the day can help you sleep better. Get sunlight early, walk outside in the afternoon, reduce blue light at least three hours before bedtime and go to bed in darkness to improve your sleep.

Because no one wants to wake up feeling like they've been swimming.
1. A cooling mattress pad reviewers rave about because it's truly awful to get ready for bed and then lie there, unable to sleep because you're too hot. This'll set you up for sleep success.

Q: My nose is really blocked up, can that cause OSA? (Annie P.)
A: Annie, nasal congestion leading to a blocked or runny nose can be uncomfortable at the best of times. It can make it particularly difficult to get a good night’s sleep. However, people who experience consistent chronic nasal congestion can double the risk of the sleep disorder Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Those suffering with this disorder have their sleep frequently interrupted through the night as their airways become blocked. They often awake, sometimes gasping for air, leading to excessive tiredness during the day. Nasal congestion due to any cause will only add to the potential for the airways to become blocked.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Q: My eyes have been drying out since starting the CPAP, how can I avoid that? (Ginger Z.)
A: Ginger, first of all, it’s important to note that if you’re treating sleep apnea, you’re already on the right track to better eye health. Research shows that the decrease in oxygen caused by sleep apnea negatively impacts the eyes.
Oxygen desaturation causes the release of catecholamines and inflammatory cytokines. This impacts the body’s ability to repair blood vessels in the eyes and may exacerbate underlying retina issues. Plus, sleep apnea is linked to a variety of conditions that impact eye health such as diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, and more.
After beginning sleep apnea treatment, you may experience CPAP dry eyes if you develop the following symptoms:
Redness of the eyes A stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation of the eyes Stringy mucus or discharge around the eyes The sensation of having something in your eyes Difficulty wearing contact lenses Difficulty driving at night Watery eyes Eye fatigue
Your eyes might be dry for a couple of reasons. Your mask may have a leak and need to be adjusted. There could be air blowing from other sources such as a ceiling fan or space heater. Then there is the possibility that there are allergens in the air of your bedroom.
Working through and testing these factors one by one and adjusting for them can solve the problem.
