Does the Vitalsleep Mouthguard Work for Apnea?
A complete review of the Vitalsleep mouth guard dental appliance (Oral appliance). Although it is marketed as snoring treatment or snore stopper, it uses the same principle that dental appliances use for treating apnea. Vital sleep is an oral appliance like a dental appliance that fits over you teeth and pulls your jaw forward while wearing it. By doing this, is pulls the tongue farther away from the back of the throat and thus opening up the airway. I personally have sleep apnea and have been trying various "cures", "fixes", and treatments. All while trying to avoid getting a cpap machine. So I wore the vitalsleep overnight while wearing an oximeter. An oximenter measures drops in blood oxygen which is associated with apnea. The fewer oxygen drops you have the less apnea events you have. I had already done a baseline check of my normal oxygen drops and had something to compare with. After waking, I discovered that the vitalsleep dental appliance reduced my apnea events by about half. Since not all of my apneas are caused by my throat, this number is more significant than it sounds. However, one should note, that if you do not have perfectly straight teeth, this device can put undue pressure on individual teeth causing a great deal of discomfort and pain. Furthermore, one needs to realize that it pulls your jaw forward all night. So when you take it out, your jaw is not going to go right back in place, you will need to work it back in for a minute. Otherwise you next bite will not be in line. Don't want to chip a tooth. I hope this works for you.
