Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. Snoring can be a nuisance to your partner. Snorers may also lose sleep, sometimes because their own loud sounds.

Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol and tobacco use can help reduce snoring.

Sleep specialists and dentists can diagnose to help people with sleep problems and help on easing/treating sleep apnea and snoring symptoms.

After a sleep study with a sleep specialist a patient is diagnosed if she/he is suffering from only snoring or apnea as well. The sleep specialist will direct the patient to the dentist after diagnosing from the sleep study if they qualify for a mandibular advancement device.

Dental remedy for Mild/Moderate apnea 

A custom mandibular advancement oral appliance is fabricated to be worn at night or during sleep. These devices pull the jaw forward, which advances the tongue and potentially opens the airway, cutting down on snoring and the tissue collapse that causes OSA. These devices are also known as anti snoring devices.
