Snoring occurs when your respiratory tracts are narrowed or partially obstructed. This can occur for several reasons such as: a thick or low palate, excess adipose (fat) tissue in the throat, or abnormal tonsils. In these situations, a sound is generated when the air passes through the pharynx and vibrates through the vocal cords. In cases where respiration is partially obstructed, it's the mostly this snoring sound that creates discomfort for the individual along with those around them.
To help reduce your snoring, a dental device called Mandibular Advancement Device (MOD) can be recommended and custom-made for you. This solution can help clear your respiratory tracts pass air through without causing the vibrations that lead to snoring. This device, which resembles a mouthguard, is composed of two trays that are worn while you are asleep. It creates a slight force to push forward the mandible (lower jaw), tongue and all other oral structures that can cause respiratory obstruction.
Only a few steps are necessary to benefit from this solution:
By clearing your respiratory tracts it will not only help with snoring, but also with the quality of sleep and breathing you get during the night.
The device allows a solution for most snoring cases without any modifications to your dental anatomy through surgery.
The devices offered at the dental clinic offer better benefits when compared to over-the-counter devices as they are custom-made. Custom-made mouth devices will not have any consequences on the oral cavity.
Individuals that snore are not always affected by their snoring, however it can affect family members. By choosing the Mandibular Advancement Device, not only will you sleep and breathe better, but so will your family!
