If snoring is causing sleepless nights for you or your partner, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with snoring, and for some, it’s more than just an annoyance—it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). While traditional treatments like CPAP machines exist, Think Oral Implants and Periodontics offers custom-fitted dental snoring devices that provide a more comfortable and practical solution for patients looking to reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
Why Do We Snore?
Snoring happens when airflow is partially blocked while sleeping, causing vibrations in the throat. This blockage can be due to:
- Relaxed throat muscles
- Nasal congestion
- Excess weight around the neck
- Sleep position (sleeping on your back often worsens snoring)
For some, snoring is mild and occasional. But for others, it can indicate a more serious issue like sleep apnea, where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we offer effective and non-invasive solutions to help you breathe easier at night.
How Do Dental Snoring Devices Work?
Unlike bulky CPAP machines, custom dental snoring devices (also known as mandibular advancement devices or MADs) are small, comfortable, and designed to fit your mouth perfectly. Think Oral Implants and Periodontics provides patients with these innovative devices, which work by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open while you sleep. This prevents the tissues in your throat from collapsing and reduces snoring.
Types of Dental Snoring Devices at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics
1.Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs)
- These devices look like sports mouthguards and are worn over the teeth.
- They slightly shift the lower jaw forward to open the airway.
- Some models allow for jaw adjustment to optimize effectiveness.
2.Tongue-Retaining Devices (TRDs)
- Instead of moving the jaw, these devices hold the tongue in place to prevent it from blocking the throat.
- Best suited for people who can’t use MADs due to jaw pain or dental issues.
3.Hybrid Devices
- Some newer devices combine features of both MADs and TRDs for enhanced comfort and effectiveness.
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we evaluate your unique needs and recommend the best device for your snoring and sleep apnea concerns.

Are Over-the-Counter (OTC) Snoring Devices Worth It?
There are plenty of generic snoring devices available online, but they’re not always effective. Unlike custom-fitted dental appliances from Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, OTC options don’t account for your specific jaw alignment, bite, or dental health.
If you’re serious about stopping snoring, the best approach is to schedule a consultation with our experts. We will evaluate your symptoms and design a device tailored specifically for you.
Who Can Benefit from a Custom Dental Snoring Device?
These devices are ideal for:
- People with mild to moderate snoring

If you have severe sleep apnea, a CPAP machine or other medical interventions may still be necessary. Our team at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics can assess your condition and guide you toward the best treatment plan.
