Anti-Snoring Appliance

An Ant-Snoring Appliance is a small oral appliance used only during sleep. It helps to prevent the jaw and tongues from dropping back into the throat and closing off the air passage. By keeping the airway open, one greatly reduces snoring.

It is estimated that up to 50% of adults have some snoring disorder. Snoring not only robs you of the rest you need but also the rest of those around you. Everyone wakes up tired and often feels irritable and sluggish during the day.

When you are asleep, the muscles and soft tissues in your throat and mouth automatically relax. The lower jaw and tongue drop back, decreasing the airway opening. This results in an increase in the velocity of air flowing through your airway when you breathe. This increased velocity causes soft tissues in your mouth and throat to vibrate. The snoring sound is the sound of these tissues vibrating. In its most severe form, the collapse of the upper airway can lead to Sleep Apnea. This is a very serious medical issue and should be discussed with your physician. Snoring can be affected by diet, health, lifestyle, age, weight, environment, and other factors.

The Anti-Snoring Appliance is something that is custom fitted to your mouth. It fits snuggly over your top teeth while you sleep and is designed to keep the airway open.
