1.
Where
can I get EndSnor™?
EndSnor™ is available through your personal dentist.
This is because each EndSnor™ requires an individual
fitting to the patient's mouth. This fitting requires the
professional capability of a dentist to insure that the lab-developed
EndSnor™ fits perfectly patient to patient.
2.
How long does it take to receive my EndSnor™ device?
Between 8 and 10 working days. This time alows for shipping
of patient's mouth mold to the lab for customized manufacturing
and for the return of the finished EndSnor™ product
to your dentist.
3.
Is the EndSnor™ covered by insurance?
Yes, in many instances. Dental offices have had some companies
cover them 100%. It is usually the medical insurance, they
will require a sleep study diagnosis which we always recommend.
4.
Does the appliance require a lot of adjustment after I receive
it?
No. 90% of patients have their snoring eliminated with the
lowest setting and never have to have it adjusted. The other
10% will need to be increased once or twice and usually never
again.
5.
Is EndSnor™ comfortable to wear?
There is about a week adjustment period. When you wake up
in the morning you will be just biting on your front teeth.
Within 15-20 minutes the muscles will go back to normal biting
positions.
After this initial week, you will not be able to sleep without
EndSnor™ because you will be so alert, energized and
have a happy rested loved one.
6.
Will my bite or teeth change?
After six years, there has been no bite change. We have had
a few patients where their contacts between the back teeth
can open slightly. A small price to pay for the benefit you
receive. If appliance is left out a few days, the contacts
close.
7.
I'm concerned about TMJ. Will this aggravate or cause TMJ?
No. The appliance moves your jaw open and forward which actually
creates more room in the joint and actually causes many clicking
TMJ problems to disappear.
8.
As a patient, can I order EndSnor™ directly from you?
No. You must go to your dentist, refer him or her to our website,
ENDSNOR.COM. He takes precise impressions,
delivers and fits the EndSnor™ to you. You pay your
dentist and their office will submit to your insurance company.
9. What does EndSnor™ cost?
The cost to the patient will range from $900 to $1,300 depending
on your dentist's fees.
10. Why is the EndSnor™ so expensive?
This is a very sophisticated, adjustable, and comfortable
orthodontic mouthpiece which truly works. Quite likely, there
will be two or three visits to your dentist as well as a substantial
construction laboratory fee to the dentist. As perspective,
EndSnor™ is considerably less expensive than the alternatives,
such as, surgery, where costs will run in excess of $5,000
or CPAP which is very uncomfortable and the costs are more
than EndSnor™.
