Here, we’ll explore the causes of snoring, discuss professional dental solutions, and how you can benefit from our specialized services.
Understanding Snoring and Its Impacts on Health
Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, which produces the familiar snoring sound. For many, it’s more than just a nuisance; it’s a leading indicator of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can lead to significant health issues such as cardiovascular disease, daytime fatigue, and impaired mental function.
Identifying the root cause of snoring is crucial. It could be due to various factors including, obesity, the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses, alcohol consumption, or sleep deprivation. At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we start with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the specific causes of your snoring.
Dental Devices: A Key to Reducing Snoring
One of the most effective treatments for snoring are dental devices. These devices are custom fitted to help open up your airway during sleep. Two main types include:
- Mandibular advancement devices (MADs). These devices slightly push the lower jaw forward and down to keep the airway open, thereby reducing snoring. MADs are similar to mouth guards used in sports and are one of the primary recommendations for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
- Tongue retaining mouthpieces. For those whose snoring originates from the tongue, a tongue retaining device may be more appropriate. This device works by holding the tongue in place, preventing it from blocking the airway.
Our specialized dental professionals at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics are highly skilled in fitting these devices, ensuring comfort and effectiveness in snoring prevention.
Other Therapeutic Measures for Snoring
In addition to dental devices, our clinic promotes a holistic approach to managing snoring. Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, reducing alcohol consumption before bedtime, and regularizing sleep patterns can significantly improve or even eliminate snoring. For those who need it, positional therapy can also be useful, which involves sleeping on your side to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat during sleep.
