Snoring Appliances

Widespread and often troublesome, snoring arises from the vibration of throat tissues during sleep. Affecting many individuals in the US, it can potentially signal the presence of sleep apnea. The reasons behind snoring range from nasal blockages and muscle relaxation to external factors like alcohol consumption. Beyond disrupting sleep quality and relationships, snoring may indicate underlying health issues. Through lifestyle adjustments and seeking medical help, snoring can be mitigated, contributing to enhanced sleep and overall well-being. Identifying the causes and pursuing treatment when necessary are vital steps for improving health.

The initial step in care involves determining whether your persistent snoring is indicative of a more serious medical condition. While loud and continuous snoring can be a potential sign of sleep apnea, it's crucial to recognize that not all individuals who snore have sleep apnea.

If it is established that your snoring is unrelated to sleep apnea, you fall into the category of "primary snorer." To enhance the quality of your sleep and that of your household, we often suggest a custom-made oral appliance.

This appliance, worn during bedtime and throughout sleep, bears resemblance 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.
