How Is Snoring Treated?
Snoring appliance therapy involves wearing a device that helps open the air passages in your mouth and nose to reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep.
Once it is determined that your snoring or sleep apnea is impacting the quality of your sleep as well as putting your breathing at risk, you will be fitted for a snoring appliance and you can begin therapy right away.
What Causes Snoring?
There are a number of reasons why snoring occurs in people. One reason is that the vibrations of the soft palate create a flapping sound that resonates through the nasal and mouth passages – and you hear snoring. Sometimes, people undergo surgery to correct the snoring issue, but snoring appliance therapy is often the most effective and the least invasive way to go about treating this problem.
Other common causes of snoring include:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Alcohol use
- Health problems
- Deviated septum
- Poor muscle tone of the tongue
Signs and Symptoms Associated With Snoring
You might feel tired all the time and not know why. One of the biggest signs of snoring is that it causes poor sleeping habits, which can lead to daytime fatigue. You might also suffer from sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, or if you have allergies, you may snore more often. Also, it goes without saying that your partner probably doesn’t appreciate your snoring. We can help you overcome snoring and get you back into a healthy sleeping pattern with snoring appliance therapy.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes people to have serious blockages of their air passages, which create an interruption in their breathing. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, or OSAS, is a serious condition that requires people to wear a snoring appliance therapy machine to reduce the likelihood that they will stop breathing, but also to improve the quality of their sleep so they don’t feel tired and become ill. When we don’t sleep, our bodies can’t heal properly and we end up making mistakes at work, getting sick, and losing quality of life over time.
