Snoring Appliances

Snoring, a common issue, occurs when tissues in the throat vibrate during sleep. This problem affects many individuals in the US and may potentially indicate sleep apnea. The causes of snoring include nasal blockages, muscle relaxation, and external factors such as alcohol consumption. Snoring not only disrupts sleep quality and relationships but may also indicate underlying health issues. By making lifestyle adjustments and seeking medical help, snoring can be alleviated, resulting in improved sleep and overall well-being. Identifying the causes and pursuing treatment, if necessary, is essential for better health.

The initial step in addressing your chronic snoring is to determine if it is a symptom of a more serious medical condition. While loud and persistent snoring can indicate sleep apnea, it's important to recognize that not all snorers have sleep apnea.

If it's established that your snoring issue is unrelated to sleep apnea, you fall into the category of a "primary snorer." To enhance your sleep quality and that of your household, we often recommend 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 fostering a quieter and more restful sleep.
