Anti snoring dental device

Dental snoring custom mouthpiece

Do you or your partner suffer from breathing difficulties during sleep such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea?

You might be pleased to know that here at Glow Dental we may have a solution for you. A variety of oral devices or mouthpieces are now available that will address your snoring problems. By preventing the lower jaw from dropping back during sleep, these devices can prevent the closure of your airways, which will stop you from snoring. Your dentist can fit one of these for you.

Can a Dentist Help With Snoring?

Yes — dentists can help with snoring in many cases. Because snoring often comes from issues with the jaw, tongue position, or airway, dentists are well placed to identify the problem during a routine examination. They can spot signs such as teeth grinding, narrow arches, or jaw alignment issues that may be contributing to snoring.

One of the most effective dental treatments is a custom-made mandibular advancement device. This small night-time appliance gently moves the lower jaw forward, keeping the airway open and reducing snoring. It’s comfortable, discreet, and far more effective than shop-bought mouthguards.

If needed, your dentist can also refer you for a sleep study to check for obstructive sleep apnea. By working together with sleep specialists, dentists provide safe, non-invasive solutions that help many patients breathe — and sleep — much better.
