Frequent snoring not only affects your partner's rest; it can also be a clear sign of upper airway resistance or **Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)**.

Take this short 8-question test (based on the **Epworth Sleepiness Scale**) to evaluate your level of daytime sleepiness and discover if the **Silent Nite intraoral device is the right medical alternative for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Test and Silent Nite (FAQ)

What exactly does the Epworth Sleepiness Scale measure?

It evaluates the likelihood of dozing off in 8 daily life situations, measuring the level of accumulated daytime sleepiness caused by poor nighttime restá or breathing pauses.

How does the Silent Nite device help if I got a high score?

Silent Nite subtly advances the jaw during the night, preventing the collapse of the soft palate and the base of the tongue. This keeps the airway open, reducing or eliminating snoring and increasing oxygenation.

Do you want a personalized clinical assessment of your snoring or apnea?

Dr. Alberto Scott will review your airway anatomy and digitally design your Silent Nite device in Polanco CDMX.
