Causes of snoring and snoring apnoea
FaceFormer® therapy
FaceFormer® Offers in the Dr. Berndsen Shop
The effective solution for snoring, sleep apnea, CMD, jaw problems and many other indications. Simple, causal, effective.
We have developed FaceFormer therapy for you as a neurophysiological and cause-orientated treatment method.
The aim of FaceFormer therapy is to change breathing patterns, train the respiratory muscles, bring about night-time mouth closure, stop mouth breathing and achieve sufficient tension in the muscles and mucous membranes in the mouth, nose and throat. All in all, the aim is to eliminate the causes of snoring and sleep apnoea.
The FaceFormer therapy takes into account
- The classic principle of muscle training
- Change of breathing: from mouth breathing to natural nasal breathing
- The development of physiological negative pressure conditions in the breathing spaces
- Activation of cranial nerve functions for better – correct – learning or the conversion of complex patterns
The FaceFormer® therapy takes into account
FaceFormer therapy is not intended to compete with positive pressure ventilation. Rather, it can also be carried out in addition to this. This opens up at least one possible perspective for the patient to lead a life without device dependency again at some point. Even if only a reduction in the positive pressure values set on the technical devices is achieved, the user could experience considerable relief.
We recommend using FaceFormer therapy even before treatment with pressurisation devices. This has often eliminated the need for a device or at least avoided high pressure values. In any case, it usually takes several weeks from diagnosis to treatment with nCPAP, and patients who are now recognised as being ill have been without treatment for many years. This would save patients – at least in some cases – not only the expense but also permanent dependence on devices. Of course, the costs for the funding organisations would also be low – in contrast to the very expensive provision of technical devices.
Important: If FaceFormer therapy is to be successful, the instructions for use must be followed. Those affected who do not do this and believe that the possession alone is helpful will hardly notice any improvement. Anyone who considers the effort of 30 to 40 minutes spread over the day to be too great should remember that you have to do something yourself to achieve any improvement. But even passive, purely symptomatic methods, in which a device or machine does something to you, require daily adjustment, cleaning and maintenance. This usually exceeds the time required for FaceFormer therapy. If you then consider that symptomatic therapy has to be carried out until the end of your life and that operations are associated with considerable risks, the decision to try FaceFormer therapy should be relatively easy.
People doing something for their own health has long since become a worldwide popular movement. As a result, illnesses are avoided and in many cases aids and crutches have become less important. FaceFormer therapy is an opportunity to improve your quality of life through your own initiative. Get started!
Causes of snoring and interrupted breathing at night
The main cause of snoring and sleep apnoea is the slackening of muscles and tissue in the mouth, throat and nose. The sagging tissue restricts the airflow to the lungs. When the air flows through narrowed passages into the lungs, the tissue vibrates, causing the snoring sound. If the tissue is so slack that the airways are completely closed, breathing pauses occur. Such pauses in breathing have probably existed for as long as mankind has existed. Numerous historical references can be found.
The erroneous argument of complete muscle relaxation during sleep
The argument that the mouth and throat muscles relax completely during sleep and that training is therefore superfluous is untenable and simply wrong. Basic muscle tension is always maintained in the living body. This is essential, as it is the only way to maintain the correct function of the respiratory tract and mouth, e.g. when swallowing and breathing. If it were otherwise, there would be fatal consequences for the survival of mankind.
