Drs. Parks & Briles want to know: are you suffering from sleep disorders?

At Bridgeview Dental, we understand snoring can seriously affect quality of life - both for the person who snores and their partner. That's why we are proud to offer our patients the TAP 3 Snoreguard that is guaranteed to reduce snoring and help you and your partner get the sleep you need.

Drs. Parks and Briles will tell you snoring happens at night when your muscles relax, and have difficulty keeping the airway open. A shift in jaw position changes the shape of the airway and makes it smaller. Breathing through a narrow airway or windpipe causes vibrations that cause the loud sound of snoring. Studies have shown that the partners of people who snore don't get the sleep that they need and people who snore do not sleep as restfully as they should.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, in fact, recommends the TAP 3 Snoreguard as the first line of treatment for snoring and mild sleep disturbance. TAP 3 Snoreguards work by slightly shifting the jaw forward so that the airway remains open. Studies have shown that the TAP 3 Snoreguard eliminates snoring in over 95 percent of patients making the TAP 3 a Snoreguard a highly effective solution for snoring.

We encourage you to give us a call to set up a complimentary consultation at our convenient downtown Portland office to find out how the TAP 3 Snoreguard could benefit you! We hope you're enjoying a safe and relaxing Independence Day weekend!
