There are a large number of oral devices available that are made to battle insomnia. Rather than drinking warm milk, many people turn to the use of one of these appliances. Chicago Insomnia Therapy is available to consult with each to offer an effective one.
Insomnia is defined as not being able to fall or stay asleep. The disorder interrupts the sleep. When the person feels he or she is not getting adequate sleep, that confirms the assessment. Millions may be affected by this condition.
Sleep is divided into four stages. When a person does not reach stages three and four the regenerative value of sleep is not reached. Stage four is the deepest sleep and the time when the body restores itself.
During that time muscles, bones and soft tissues are built and the immune system strengthened. Sleep needs vary. An infant requires sixteen per day and an adult seven or eight.
Upwards of eighty of these oral devices to enable a good nights sleep have been devised. They are usually called mandibular repositioning appliances. How they work is by moving the lower jaw into a forward position.
There are other appliances that keep the tongue from changing position and blocking the airway. Both types may be used for the same person. Together they look like a double retainer.
A doctor and dentist work together to provide a device like this. The physician prescribes the need for it and the dentist fits it to the persons mouth. Each appliance is unique to each person.
The dentist will mold the repositioning appliance to the teeth. The airway is kept open during the night by keeping the jaw in a forward position. The device that keeps the tongue in a forward position achieves that same goal.
Research shows that by increasing and maintaining the open airway, normal sleep patterns can be achieved. The muscles in the throat keep the upper airway dilated. The tongue protrudes and the jaw moves forward.
