What Is Snoring Therapy?

Snoring is a common problem that can cause significant sleep disruption. Not only the patient but also their partner and family feel its effects.

If you snore, you may need to know how to reduce or eliminate these symptoms. Sleep Better Solution provides expert help for patients struggling with snoring.

Causes of Snoring

Snoring typically occurs when the airway becomes constricted during sleep. It may occur due to the throat muscles relaxing too much, the throat tissues collapsing, the tongue collapsing backward to block the airway or large tonsils.

Effects of Snoring

  • Poor sleep for partners or family members
  • Dry mouth, leading to oral health complications like tooth decay and gum disease

Treatments for Snoring

There are two primary treatments for snoring: CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines and custom oral appliances. CPAP machines are more frequently used for moderate to severe cases of sleep apnea, but they can also treat significant snoring issues.

Our practice does not use CPAP machines because they are bulky, require wearing an uncomfortable mask to sleep, and are not portable. Our solution is the ProSomnus EVO, a custom oral appliance that gently holds the jaw forward to prevent the airway from becoming constricted during sleep.

Advantages of ProSomnus EVO over CPAP Machines

  • Smaller footprint: A CPAP machine occupies space in the bedroom and must have a power outlet nearby.
  • More portable, especially if you travel frequently or spend time outdoors.
  • Only 40 percent of patients wear CPAP masks as prescribed. Higher compliance rates with the ProSomnus appliance lead to better health outcomes.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea

While many patients consider snoring normal and harmless, it could indicate a dangerous condition called sleep apnea. If you snore loudly enough to disturb others, you should see an expert to rule out sleep apnea.

Why Choose Sleep Better Solution

Dental sleep experts joined our team to help us offer premier snoring treatment. Dr. Steven Liao, a member of the International Academy of Sleep and the American Dental Association, wants to help patients overcome snoring issues that can lead to poor sleep and worsened health outcomes. His deep knowledge of how oral appliances can affect sleep quality helps patients feel well-rested.

Procedures Offered

ProSomnus EVO

The ProSomnus EVO device is a small, comfortable custom oral appliance that positions the jaws for healthy, quiet sleep. The appliance holds the jaw forward, keeping the airway open and reducing the risk of severe snoring. Patients and their families can experience a better night's sleep and increasingly better health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring Therapy

What causes snoring?

Snoring is a common condition characterized by an airflow obstruction at the back of the mouth and nasal cavity. An obstructed airway allows negative air pressure to build, vibrating soft tissues. The vibrations create the sound we know as snoring.

How do I know if I snore?

If your snoring is moderate and you sleep alone, you may not know you have a problem. Patients with partners and family members who sleep close by may experience complaints if they snore.

Watch out for these daytime symptoms:

  • Memory problems
  • Learning and reasoning delays
  • Mathematical processing difficulties
  • Morning headaches
  • Feeling poorly rested and sleep-deprived
  • Dry mouth
  • Mood changes
  • Poor school or work performance

Is snoring a common problem?

Up to 40 million American adults snore every night.

When does snoring turn serious?

Many patients who snore suffer no far-reaching health issues. However, snoring can sometimes be confused with a potentially life-threatening condition called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea could lead to cardiac symptoms, stroke, lung problems, diabetes, and daytime fatigue, which leads to a severely increased risk of accidents.

How can I reduce my snoring?

Losing weight, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol and drug use, and sleeping on your side can reduce snoring symptoms. Managing nasal allergies is a huge contributor to snoring, so have your allergies treated by a professional. If you suspect sleep apnea, the ProSomnus device can help you protect your overall health.
