EMA Device: Putting an End to Snoring

After a long day at the office, you finally return home and decide to call it an early night with hopes of waking up refreshed and rested for the first time in a while, ready to attack the day head-on. You’re lights out an hour earlier than normal and already looking forward to jumping out of bed feeling brand new in the morning. Your 7 a.m. alarm goes off and you open your eyes and you feel…

awful.

Your 9 hours of sleep feels like 3 and you would give half of your months salary to stay right where you are for a few more hours. This feeling can’t be because of lack of sleep; you got into bed earlier than usual! Your lethargy could stem from a much more complex and pressing issue: obstructive sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea afflicts over 40 million Americans and if untreated, can lead to heart disease, stroke and excessive daytime sleepiness. In addition to this statistic, at least 80 million Americans snore, which adversely affects the sleep quality of the snorer as well as their bed partner and diminishes quality of life.

Familiar solutions to obstructive sleep apnea include pricey CPAP machines, which can eliminate the snoring noises but replace snoring with loud machine-driven breathing sounds which can still limit your partner’s quality of sleep.

In recent years, a new oral device has emerged as a viable solution to treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring and dentists across the country have begun encouraging this solution for their patients: The EMA device or “Snore Guard”.

The EMA (Elastic Mandibular Advancement) device is a revolutionary technology which is putting an end to snoring and subsequently increasing the quality of life of millions of Americans. The EMA works by opening the bite and slightly advancing the mandible with elastic straps to increase airway space. This increased airway space leads to better sleep and a fresh feeling upon awakening in the morning. The device is completely metal-free and the elastic straps contain no latex.

All you need to do to finally put an end to yours or your partner’s snoring/sleep apnea, is to have your dentist take a bite registration and then set up a fitting appointment. The EMA is FDA approved to treat both obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.

Improve your quality of life. Wake up feeling refreshed EVERY morning and not every other morning. Life-changing decisions pertaining to your health and well-being are often tough decisions to make. This one is a no-brainer.
