Airflow is partially obstructed during sleep when snoring occurs. Your throat muscles and tongue may be too relaxed, your nose may be congested, and your jaw may not line up.
A custom oral appliance gently repositions your jaw and tongue. This helps keep your airway open, reducing vibration and improving airflow for quieter, more restful sleep.
The majority of patients find it easy to wear these. Designed specifically for your mouth, it keeps the appliance snugly in place all night with minimal discomfort.
Many patients notice improvement within a few nights. Consistent use of the appliance helps deliver the best long-term results and improved sleep quality.
Snoring can indeed be a sign of sleep apnea. A proper assessment allows you to determine the nature of your problem and that you receive the proper treatment.
If your snoring is loud enough to wake you up, make you tired, and disturb your partner, consult a sleep doctor. Receiving treatment early will improve health and daily life.
