The following testimonials were given willingly by some of Dr. Smith's patients:

I don't use the phrase "life changing" easily. However, the oral appliance has changed my life. I went from seventy four breath-stopping episodes per hour during a night of sleep to a completely normal sleeping pattern.

Sleep apnea was so adversely affecting my life that I had become desperate to find a solution. After a sleep study and an evaluation by Dr. Smith it was determined that this oral appliance would most likely help my sleep apnea symptoms. After just a few weeks of using this appliance and a follow-up sleep study my sleep patterns and oxygen levels during sleep were completely normal.

Now I get to decide when I sleep, not the sleep apnea. And the real bonus is that my energy returned to a level that I haven't had in twenty five years.

Thank you, Dr. Smith.

Having tossed and turned in my sleep, waking my wife and myself for many years we realized that I had a sleeping disorder. I decided on the Oral Appliance after talking with Dr. Smith and others that had sleep disorders and what they were doing with their problem.

After receiving my Oral Appliance in May of 2000, I have been using it continually. There was a short adjustment period but my sleep pattern is more routine with being more rested and a higher energy level and not waking my family at night. I found the Oral Appliance very easy and convenient to use in helping my sleep disorder.

In 1999 I was fitted for an oral appliance by Dr. Smith. Prior to wearing the appliance, I felt exhausted all the time. I had no energy level. Every time I would sit down, I would fall asleep.

I feel wonderful again. I sleep as sound as a baby. I don't bother my family anymore with the annoying snoring and gasping for air. I am full of energy again. It sure beats the alternative of surgery. I used the CPAP machine and it was terrible. I love my appliance.

After meeting with Dr. Smith, I started wearing the appliance May 1999. Prior to wearing the appliance I would snore very loudly, and my wife would be alarmed by my episodes of stopped breathing. She was so worried about me she couldn't sleep well, either.

The impact the appliance has on my life is extremely positive. Mort importantly, I breathe through the night. Both I and my wife sleep much better knowing that I won't wake up gasping in the middle of the night.

I started wearing the appliance May 23, 2002. Prior to wearing the appliance I felt tired all the time, no energy and I wanted my husband back in bed with me. He couldn't sleep with my loud snoring. I took naps during the day. I woke up tired every morning. My family got a laugh at how loud I was with my snoring.

Now I have more energy and am not so tired. I don't take naps except when I'm up too late the night before. I have my husband back in bed with me again which is the best for all of us. It is nice to wake up in the mornings and see his face. My children don't talk about my snoring, as they did before wearing my oral appliance.

The oral appliance has increased my energy and has virtually eliminated my snoring.
