Who should use the quiet Night ™?

This stop snoring device is designed for healthy adults who wish to reduce their amount of snoring. It is not suitable for children, people with a history of epilepsy, people with tooth or gum problems or people with obstructive sleep apnoea (except under the supervision of a doctor or dentist, see below)

If you do not have a full and healthy set of teeth, you may still be able to use this device but you must consult a dentist or doctor before you start.

What are the side effects?

 

Some side effects are common with this device. Usually they don’t occur for more than 2 weeks. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist for longer than 2 weeks, or you feel they are becoming serious, you must stop using the device and consult your doctor before continuing. Common side effects are:

Sore jaw joint (Temporomandibular joint). This often occurs for the first week or so as your jaw becomes accustomed to its new sleeping position. However, you should discontinue use immediately if the pain is anything more than mild discomfort or persists for more than 30 minutes after removal of the device.

Sore teeth. The device holds your jaw forward by gripping your teeth. This can result in some discomfort which should not last more than a few minutes after removing the device. There is some evidence that prolonged regular use of devices like The Quiet Night™ can cause gradual movement of the teeth, although this seems to occur only in certain individuals and only with ”hard” acrylic devices, rather than soft devices like The Quiet Night™ .It is recommended that you mention to your dentist that you are using a Snorer’s Friend™ and ask him or her to monitor the positions of your teeth at your normal dental checkups.

Gum problems. In some people with sensitive gums or mouth tissues, the prolonged contact with the device may result in ulcers or tissue damage.

Excessive salivation. This is a non-serious side effect but can be a nuisance. Usually it will improve as you become accustomed to the device.
