Snoring Appliances

Snoring, a widespread issue, happens when throat tissues vibrate during sleep. This problem affects many individuals in the US and could potentially be indicative of sleep apnea. The causes of snoring include nasal blockages, muscle relaxation, and external factors like alcohol consumption. Not only does snoring disrupt sleep quality and relationships, but it might also signal underlying health issues. By making lifestyle changes and seeking medical help, snoring can be alleviated, resulting in improved sleep and overall well-being. Identifying the causes and pursuing treatment, if needed, is essential for better health.

Identifying whether your chronic snoring is indicative of a more serious medical condition is the initial step in care. While loud and persistent snoring can signal sleep apnea, it's crucial to understand that not all snorers have sleep apnea.

If it's established that your snoring issue is unrelated to sleep apnea, you are classified as a "primary snorer." To facilitate a more peaceful and comfortable sleep for you and your household, we often suggest a custom-made oral appliance.

Worn during bedtime and throughout sleep, this appliance is akin to a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. It offers a removable and non-invasive solution for snoring by subtly repositioning your jaw, facilitating improved airflow, and promoting a quieter and more restful sleep.
