Snoring occurs when the muscles in the throat relax during sleep, partially blocking the airway. This narrowing causes vibrations in the soft tissues, producing the sound of snoring. Contributing factors may include obesity, nasal obstruction or a deviated septum.
In some cases, snoring is a symptom of a more serious condition known as obstructive sleep apnoea - a disorder where breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. This can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, poor concentration and an increased risk of health issues such as high blood pressure and heart disease. .
We offer a clinically proven solution in the form of a Mandibular Advancement Device. This custom-made device gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and improving breathing.
The process is simple and non-invasive. One of our experienced dentists will take impressions of your upper and lower teeth to create your bespoke device, tailored to be comfortable for you. The appliance is worn during sleep, much like a mouthguard, and helps promote nasal breathing throughout the night.
If you suffer from snoring or have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnoea, our team is here to help with our anti-snoring devices. Contact our Leicester practice today on 0116 270 7300.
