\"SnoringEveryone snores occasionally, like when battling a case of the sniffles. However, if the problem is ongoing, it can affect everyone in your home. If you toss and turn all night because of your partner\u2019s snoring, it might be enough to drive you to sleep on the couch. You\u2019re not the only one getting a bad night\u2019s rest. Chronic snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea<\/a>, which can affect their health and quality of life. You can give your loved one the gift of snore-less sleep and better health with an oral appliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Narrowing of the air passages causes snoring. The sound you hear is from vibrations as air passes over the tissues, which is why it\u2019s common if you have a stuffy nose. Most often, snoring isn\u2019t any reason for concern, but if it occurs more often than not, it can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OSA is a sleep disorder that causes frequent breathing disruptions throughout the night. The soft tissues in the back of the mouth and throat collapse to block the airway, causing pauses in breathing. Snoring and sleep apnea go hand in hand because of the narrowing of the airway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, snoring isn\u2019t the only complication of sleep apnea. Every breathing disturbance depletes the body of oxygen and interrupts the sleep cycle. With no treatment, sleep apnea can cause many serious physical and mental complications, like an increased risk of heart disease, sleep deprivation, depression, and memory loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although sleep apnea is common, up to 90% of cases aren\u2019t diagnosed because many people don\u2019t notice there\u2019s an issue because they are asleep, like snoring. If your partner snores excessively, it can be a sign of a larger problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll need to undergo a sleep study to confirm a diagnosis. If sleep apnea is the culprit, there are many options to treat the disorder, like a CPAP. A steady stream of air pressure is delivered through a mask worn over the mouth or nose to stop interruptions in breathing. While it\u2019s effective, an oral appliance is a patient-preferred solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An oral appliance benefits both snoring and sleep apnea. A custom-fit device holds the tongue and jaw in a more comfortable position to prevent an obstruction in the upper airway. It\u2019s a comfortable, convenient option for mild-to-moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give the Gift of Better Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to spend the night worrying about your partner\u2019s breathing. You and your loved one can have peace of mind with an oral appliance. You\u2019ll give them a gift that keeps on giving with better sleep and improved health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
