Getting a good sleep is of utmost importance to maintaining good health and wellness, which is why it can be damaging when something continually disrupts it. In addition to making a person feel fatigued, a lack of sleep can impact a person’s concentration and memory, and contribute to other health problems.
Snoring is one of the most common causes of interrupted sleep – both for the person who is snoring, and anyone who shares a bed a snorer. Snoring has many possible causes: nasal obstruction, a malpositioned jaw, muscular weakness, or an excess of fat in the throat. No matter what the cause, snoring tends to result in poor sleep patterns for everyone.
All of these issues can be solved with a custom-fitted dental appliance, which pushes the jaw forward to clear the snorer’s airway and stop the snoring. If you or a loved one is having problems with snoring, ask your dentist to assess your suitability for one of these easy-to-wear appliances.
A proper night’s sleep is within your grasp!
