Snoring Treatment

4 in 10 people snore, but it isn’t just a night time nuisance—it can have serious impacts on both your health and relationships. Aside from the disturbed sleep, fatigue, irritability and daytime tiredness, finding  a Snoring Treatment  is even more important when you know that serious snorers have increased risk of  heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and type II diabetes.  Interestingly studies show that  some of these risks are also shared by the sleep partner of the snorer.   We can can offer solutions that can  help with this problem.  When you want to know how to stop snoring  there are many options to try but few work predictably.

What is snoring

Snoring is the sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat during sleep, causing them to vibrate. This typically happens when the airway is partially obstructed, which can result from factors such as nasal congestion, poor muscle tone in the throat, or excess tissue around the neck. While snoring is common and usually harmless, it can vary in severity—from light, occasional sounds to loud, disruptive noises that affect sleep quality. In some cases, snoring may indicate a more serious underlying condition, such as sleep apnoea, where the airway is repeatedly blocked, leading to brief pauses in breathing during sleep.   Sleep devices are one very effective snoring treatment  so that you ( and your partner)  wake up ready for the day and feeling refreshed.

What is a sleep device

A custom sleep device is a specially designed oral appliance made to help improve your sleep by addressing issues like snoring or sleep apnoea. It is tailored to fit your mouth comfortably and works by gently repositioning your jaw or tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This helps reduce interruptions to your breathing, allowing for a more restful and healthier night’s sleep. It’s a non-invasive, easy-to-use alternative to other treatments like CPAP machines and is customised specifically for your needs.

A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a popular and effective solution for snoring, especially when the snoring is caused by a partial obstruction of the airway. It is a dental appliance designed to reposition the lower jaw (mandible) and tongue slightly forward, helping to keep the airway open while you sleep.

How it Works:

When you sleep, the muscles in your throat relax, and in some cases, this relaxation can cause your tongue and soft tissues to collapse backward, partially blocking your airway. This blockage leads to snoring sounds. A mandibular advancement device works by gently shifting your lower jaw forward, which in turn pulls the tongue away from the back of your throat, preventing this blockage and allowing air to flow freely. The device can be gradually  adjusted to get just the right level of movement in your lower jaw

The device is made using a  digital scan of your mouth, using digital design it is then custom made  to  fits comfortably over your upper and lower teeth. The device  is worn during sleep, and its primary goal is to keep the airway open and reduce the vibrations that cause snoring.

Benefits:

  • Non-invasive: Unlike surgery or other more drastic measures, a MAD is a non-invasive solution that doesn’t require recovery time.
  • Customisable: Our device can be fine tuned for comfort
  • Effective for many: Studies have shown that custom made sleep devices  are highly effective in reducing snoring and improving sleep quality for many people.

Is It Right for You?

A MAD is particularly effective for individuals whose snoring is related to airway obstruction caused by relaxed jaw muscles during sleep. It’s a great first-line treatment for mild to moderate snoring and can be a game-changer for both you and your sleep partner. If you’re considering a MAD, consulting with a dentist or sleep specialist can help you determine the best approach for your snoring problems.
