You can now experience a more restful, deeper sleep.
Snoring occurs when the flow of air through your mouth and nose is partially blocked, causing the tissues in your throat to vibrate.
Snoring can be caused by various factors such as allergies, a deviated septum, nasal congestion, nasal polyps, and fatty tissue around the neck.
Sleeping on your back can make snoring worse as gravity narrows the airway. In some cases, snoring may indicate a more serious condition, such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which requires prompt attention.
Clinically proven, non-invasive dental solutions to tackle snoring are essential to reverse the condition. These include:
Bespoke anti-snoring appliances: Custom-made mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are designed to gently reposition your jaw and tongue during sleep, ensuring your airway remains open. These devices are comfortable to wear and effective for many people experiencing mild to moderate snoring. Custom-made in the dental lab, this device is tailored to your dental profile. It features a soft inner lining for comfort, allows jaw movement, and can be adjusted for ease of use.
Collaborative care: If snoring is linked to a medical condition like obstructive sleep apnoea, we advise referral to a medical doctor or sleep specialists to ensure you receive comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Lifestyle changes: For some patients, simple lifestyle adjustments can significantly reduce snoring. We can help you understand weight management, sleep posture, and habits like smoking and alcohol and make the necessary referrals as needed.
A mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a custom-made oral appliance that positions your jaw slightly forward to keep your airway open while you sleep. This reduces the vibrations that cause snoring.
No. MADs are custom-made to fit your mouth and provide maximum comfort. After a brief adjustment period, most patients find them comfortable to wear.
In some cases, changes like losing weight, sleeping on your side, or avoiding alcohol can reduce snoring. However, for many, additional treatments, such as a custom-made device, are necessary for effective results.
