Sleeping Will Never Seem So Easy
Introducing Georgetown Smile’s latest favorite appliance/service we provide – Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance and TAP®3 TL
As we begin the new year – we like to reflect on what parts of our life and routines need to be changed and improved. Most might overlook the most important aspect of our daily routines – which is our sleep. According to cpapsupplies.com, “50-70 million US adults have a sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders.”
We have experienced clients coming into the office expressing how exhausted they are from their sleep apnea, along with frustrating clenching and grinding. These experiences can easily ruin your day, weeks, or month if not treated with the right attention.
Dr. Peretz, DDS, at Georgetown Smile, sat down with a few of his clients this year during the resolution season to share a game changing solution to relieve the exhaustion, grogginess, and lack of energy.
Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance

The Silent Nite Sleep Appliance is indicated to reduce snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients 18 years of age or older. The appliance is worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position as determined by the dentist. The appliance is removable by the patient. Among patients with obstructive sleep apnea, both continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advancement devices (MADs) were associated with reductions in blood pressure.

The TAP 3 TL is intended to reduce or alleviate nighttime snoring and sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Fitting comfortably, the TAP 3 TL is designed to provide room for the tongue and allow the lips to close. An adjustment key enables the patient to adjust the protrusion of the lower jaw while wearing the device until a comfortable and effective position is achieved.
