Snoring Solutions
Sleep is vital to our health and wellbeing
We spend a third of our lives sleeping. It’s understandable, as it plays a vital role in dictating our overall health and wellbeing. The process of sleep is very complex in the way it restores and renews the body, as well as balancing out our central nervous system, hormonal system and immune systems.
Snoring is a common condition that can disrupt your sleep. It happens when air can’t flow easily through your nose or mouth. Mild or occasional snoring usually isn’t a cause for concern. But chronic snoring can increase your risk of certain health conditions like stroke and heart attack.

Treatment
Treatment with oral appliances
Success rates have been found to be as high as 90% to stop snoring. Oral appliances may be worn overnight, or during t he day or both, depending on individual person’s treatment. The oral appliances are used to achieve TMJ and mandibular repositioning or tongue retention or both.
Oral appliances can sometimes cause mild discomfort and temporary minor shifts of your bite that are easily corrected by removing the appliance and by opening and closing the mouth a few times.
There are different types of oral appliances. Just like there are different shoe sizes for people, there are different appliances for sleep disordered breathing.
