Snoring affects a large number of people around the world, including snorers themselves and their partners. Though nobody snores on purpose, that’s not to say that it isn’t a problem that desperately needs solving. Perhaps you’ve been told by family members that you snore or maybe you’ve woke yourself up by doing so. It may even be your sleeping partner that’s mentioned your snoring. Snoring comes in a range of different varieties and it could lead to you waking up in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe; this is referred to as sleep apnoea.
If you snore, you may feel as though you don’t get a good night’s sleep and you may feel constantly tired despite sleeping for eight hours at a time. This isn’t uncommon and it’s just another problem that snorers have to deal with.
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring is caused when the body’s soft palate vibrates or when the epiglottis restricts airflow; this is what creates the snoring noise and the breathing struggles that come with sleep apnoea. When the tissue at the back of your throat vibrates as you breathe throughout the night, a snoring noise is caused. This usually happens when you are laying on your back as this position encourages you to breathe through your mouth, which leads to you taking in more air than normal and snoring occurs.
Are There Snoring Solutions?
At Post House Dental, we have a lot of experience in helping individuals with snoring solutions. We are able to provide anti-snoring devices, as well as other treatments. For example, if you suffer from bruxism, we will recommend a Michigan splint. Michigan splints will prevent you from clenching and grinding your teeth during the night, which often creates headaches and migraines. As obstructive sleep apnoea is a problem that can have serious consequences, we work quickly to find a solution that solves the issue for you. For most patients who suffer from snoring, a mandibular advancement splint will usually help.
You’ll be pleased to know that there are a number of snoring solutions, which means there’s sure to be a solution that’s effective for you. In fact, the person to help you could be your dentist. Your dentist can help you to find a snoring solution that will allow you to sleep better and without the worry of snoring.
Snoring Solutions at Post House Dental
Most snoring solutions are very simple devices and they work by positioning your jaw forward whilst you sleep. These solutions also help to keep your tongue from relaxing, which can block your airways and prevent you from breathing. So, as you can see, snoring solutions are vital. Not only will you stop snoring, you will also find breathing a lot easier.
All of the snoring solutions we offer are comfortable, affordable and effective. To find out more about how to stop snoring and the treatments available, get in touch with Post House Dental. By speaking to one of the trained team, you’ll be beginning your journey to a better night’s sleep.
