Snoring and sleep apnea go hand in hand as people with sleep apnea always tend to snore. However, not all snorers have sleep apnea. For the uninitiated, sleep apnea is a serious sleeping disorder that leads to interrupted breathing during sleep. In this blog, we will take a look at sleep apnea, snoring, and how dental appliances can help remedy the situation.

People with mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea can use dental appliances or oral mandibular advancement devices which advance the lower jaw forward and/or prevent the tongue from blocking the throat. These devices ensure that the airway is open during sleep. To get these devices, you need to visit a dentist who has expertise in oral appliances to purpose-build a device for you.
Some of the benefits of using oral devices include an improvement in symptoms of sleep apnea and a reduction of snoring. They are less cumbersome compared to CPAP and are easier to carry even on travels.
Although Sleep Apnea is a serious condition that can be dangerous for people, the advent of oral devices has enabled people with symptoms to get a comfortable night’s sleep.
