Snoring Appliances

Widespread and disruptive, snoring results from the vibration of throat tissues during sleep and affects a significant number of individuals in the United States. It can serve as a potential indicator of sleep apnea. Nasal blockages, muscle relaxation, and external factors like alcohol consumption contribute to the causes of snoring. Beyond disrupting sleep quality and relationships, snoring may signal underlying health issues. Addressing snoring through lifestyle adjustments and seeking medical guidance can bring relief, fostering enhanced sleep and overall well-being. Understanding the root causes and pursuing necessary treatment are vital steps toward better health.

The initial step in addressing chronic snoring is to assess whether it indicates a more serious medical condition. Although loud and persistent snoring can be a potential sign of sleep apnea, it's crucial to recognize that not all snorers necessarily have this condition.

If it is determined that your snoring is not linked to sleep apnea, you fall into the category of "primary snorer." To enhance your and your household's sleep quality, we often recommend the use of 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 experience.
