While these factors can inhibit your ability to get adequate rest, what you do in your sleep can also affect your bed partner. Loud, chronic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionicadentalwellness.com\/sleep-apnea-treatment.html\">snoring<\/a> is one of the most common symptoms of a more serious condition known as sleep apnea, but is there anything that can be done to curb it? Keep reading to discover how a custom-made oral appliance might be the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Snoring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Snoring is a common problem many people experience, and it is not always related to sleep apnea. It can occur for several reasons, some of which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Obesity or being overweight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sinus congestion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thick, soft palate that appears lower inside the mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A deviated septum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When the airway becomes narrowed or partially blocked because of relaxed tissues inside the mouth, the result is a loud vibration \u2013 snoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Sleep Dentist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem as if this condition is untreatable, even though there are many products available on the market that are supposed to improve symptoms; however, there is one avenue many patients often forget to consider, a sleep dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These professionals are trained in dental sleep medicine \u2013 a field that focuses on providing snoring treatment in Delafield as well as reducing the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After undergoing a sleep study and receiving a formal diagnosis, patients can schedule an appointment with a sleep dentist to discuss available treatment options. While one of the most common methods includes continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, another option is becoming increasingly popular among those struggling to breathe easily at night \u2013 oral appliance treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can an Oral Appliance Be Beneficial?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom-made oral appliances from a trusted sleep dentist are considered a more patient-friendly alternative to CPAP therapy. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are customized to meet each patient\u2019s needs, so they fit comfortably and are designed to achieve desired goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are portable and can easily fit in a pocket, purse, or carry-on bag when traveling (unlike a CPAP machine that can be bulky to maneuver).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They make no noise when trying to fall asleep. CPAP machines can be loud, making it harder for patients to rest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They require no tubes, masks, or additional equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They can be partially covered by health insurance because they are considered medical devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A sleep dentist will make sure the oral appliance adequately shifts the jaw forward so that the oral tissues do not collapse and block a person\u2019s airway. This can lead to quieter, uninterrupted sleep, which means a happier home for you and your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Udoka Holinbeck is a holistic dentist who provides a whole-body health approach when treating her patients.
