The Pure Sleep company (located in Larkspur, CA.) promotes a device that stops snoring, which is why my husband purchased it for me. This device has caused me to have severe problems with my jaw, and has caused me to have migraine headaches EVERY DAY for the past 5 months. Prior to the use of this product I did NOT have either of these issues. I have had to quit my job as a direct result of this product. I have seen 7 doctors trying to figure out what is wrong with me, and have had numerous x-rays (MRIs, as well as soft tissue x-rays). Finally I went to my dentist for my regular cleaning and my dentist asked me what was going on (I had to wear my sunglasses in his office because I could not handle the light) I told him that I have been having severe headaches and jaw pain, and that after all of the testing I have had, I wondered if all of these problems stemmed from the Pure Sleep device Dr. Slatton said that he was in disbelief that this dentist who came up with the Pure Sleep device has not already been sued. We have mounting medical bills and are living on one income now. We had to trade in both of our cars, and have had to cut our budget down to where there is nothing else that we can cut out. Dr. Slatton referred me to a cranial facial pain doctor who is also a dentist, Dr. Ron Prehn, and I am currently under his care. Dr Prehn. Both my dentist and the cranial facial doctor say the Pure Sleep device is very unsafe, as you are supposed to GRADUALLY move the splint forward over a period of time. The Pure Sleep device instructions state that you are to boil water and submerse the device for a few minutes - then push your bottom jaw forward and mold the device, I now have to take 8 meds a day as a direct result of all of this.
After doing a website search it would appear that this company is selling a dangerous device, not only for the damages I have listed, but for thousands of others out there that have severe sleep apnea - which I was also diagnosed with by the doctor who is currently treating me.
