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.
