Snoring is the sound you hear when the relaxed tissues of your soft palate vibrate as air passes by. It occurs for a variety of reasons, including age, weight, nasal and sinus issues, alcohol consumption, medications, sleep positions, and the shape of your mouth and airways. Many Canadians snore regularly, which causes multiple interruptions to sleep throughout the night. The various types of dental devices for snoring correct the position of the mouth, bringing the jaw forward to open the air passages. This leads to better airflow, less noise, and a better night of sleep! If you snore, be sure to ask your doctor about snoring devices. You may also want to be tested for sleep apnea, a more serious condition that is sometimes associated with snoring.
