Explanatory video of the Silent Nite device by Dr. Alberto Scott.

Chronic snoring is not simply a noisy annoyance for the partner; it is a clear clinical symptom of nocturnal hypoxia or **Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)**. During sleep, throat muscle tone decreases, the jaw falls back by gravity, and the airway narrows, causing the soft palate to vibrate or completely blocking oxygen passage.

At **Consultorio Dental Scott**, Dr. José Alberto Scott Torres prescribes and fits the renowned **Silent Nite system, the most comfortable intraoral alternative endorsed by the *American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine*.

Biomechanics of Silent Nite vs Generic Devices

Parameter Silent Nite Commercially Available Generic Trays
Design and Impression Digital CAD/CAM with 3D scanner Thick, imprecise boil-and-bite plastic
TMJ Health Protects and decompresses the joint Risk of joint pain and dysfunction
Thickness and Comfort Ultra-thin 2 mm profile Bulky, causes excessive salivation
