Thornton Adjustable Positioner A Snoring Cure Reality Check
The cure for snoring may be here, and it’s the dentist not the doctor, who is helping snorers.
As a person sleeps, his jaw can drop back a bit. The tongue and the soft tissue can close the airway, and that causes the snoring sound.
One user says he’s now allowed to stay in bed with his wife. John Jennings says, “It’s been really nice to be able to come back and sleep with her again after many years of starting out, and having to go out and end up on the couch or in the other room.” Dentists, Dr. Brian Schroder, says, “You certainly wouldn’t think that the dentist was a place to solve your snoring problems, but the reality is that we’re very, very fluent in making oral devices and appliances.”
The TAP device can cost up to $2,000. That includes sleep studies and follow up visits.
Some insurance companies may cover part of the cost.
