Snoring Appliances

Snoring, a prevalent concern, arises when throat tissues vibrate during sleep, impacting numerous individuals across the US and possibly signaling sleep apnea. Nasal obstructions, muscle relaxation, and external factors like alcohol consumption contribute to its occurrence. Besides disturbing sleep quality and relationships, snoring may signal underlying health issues. Lifestyle modifications and medical intervention can mitigate snoring, leading to enhanced sleep and overall wellness. Identifying its causes and pursuing treatment, if warranted, are vital steps toward improved health.

The first step in addressing chronic snoring is to determine whether it's a symptom of a more serious medical condition like sleep apnea. While loud and persistent snoring can indicate sleep apnea, it's crucial to note that not all snorers have this condition.

If it's confirmed that your snoring is not related to sleep apnea, you may fall into the category of "primary snorers." To improve your sleep quality and that of your household, we often recommend a personalized oral appliance.

Worn during sleep, this appliance resembles a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. It provides a removable and non-invasive solution for snoring by gently repositioning your jaw, promoting better airflow, and facilitating a quieter and more restful sleep.
