Snoring Devices & Sleep Apnea Devices

While snoring can affect your sleeping partner, it also affects your health too. Dental appliances or a mouth guard are often helpful to resolve breathing problems that occur when the muscles in the mouth relax too much, affecting your regular breathing.

How Do Sleep Apnea Devices Work?

Dental devices can alleviate mild sleep apnea by opening up your airways, allowing the air to flow more freely. This helps to reduce your snoring and improve the quality of your sleep, not only for yourself but for your partner, too.

Common Sleep Apnea Devices

Your dentist may recommend one of two types of sleep apnea devices to reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep. Tongue-retaining devices open the airways by holding the tongue in place, while mandibular advancement devices look similar to sports mouth guards.
