Is Your Snoring Affecting Your Sleep Quality?

Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Issues like tooth pain, snoring, jaw disorders, or even nighttime teeth grinding can disrupt your sleep without you realising it.

How Snoring Affects Sleep Quality

If you or your partner snores loudly, it can significantly impact sleep quality for both of you. Snoring occurs when air cannot flow freely through the nose and throat during sleep, causing the surrounding tissues to vibrate. This not only disrupts the snorer’s sleep cycle but can also prevent bed partners from getting adequate rest.

Snoring might seem like a minor nuisance, but it can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and concentration problems, plus many medical conditions such as dementia, heart disease, stroke, etc. Over time, persistent poor sleep due to snoring can contribute to more serious health issues.

The Oral Connection to Snoring

Many people don’t realise that dental professionals can help address snoring issues. Factors that contribute to snoring include:

• The position of your jaw during sleep
• The relaxation of muscles in your mouth and throat
• The shape and size of your oral structures
• Dental Solutions for Snoring

While some people associate snoring treatments with uncomfortable devices such as CPAP, dental professionals offer more comfortable alternatives. We’re proud to offer patients custom-fit oral devices designed to gently reposition your jaw while you sleep. This slight movement helps to keep your airway open, reducing vibration of tissues and minimising snoring.

The process is easy, efficient, and effective. These oral appliances are:

• Custom-made for your mouth
• Comfortable to wear throughout the night
• Easy to care for and maintain
• Non-invasive and simple to use
