Get Better Sleep With Custom Snoring Appliances in Potts Point
At Sydney Dental Surgeons, we create custom dental devices that can help reduce snoring and make it easier to breathe at night.
Snoring happens when air can’t move freely through your nose or throat while you sleep. When the muscles in those areas relax, the airway can get smaller. This narrow passage causes the sound we know as snoring.
What Causes Snoring in Potts Point?
Some reasons for snoring come from daily habits, while others relate to body shape or health issues:
Extra body weight: Fat around the neck can push on the airway.
Smoking: It can cause swelling that blocks your nose and throat.
Alcohol: Drinking before bed relaxes the muscles too much.
Certain medications: Some drugs can overly relax the muscles.
Allergies or asthma: These can obstruct the nose or airways.
Sinus infections: Swelling in the nose makes it harder to breathe.
Natural shape of your throat or nose: Some people have naturally narrow airways.
Age: Muscles tend to weaken with age.
What Is Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea is a condition where breathing pauses briefly during sleep. In mild cases, breathing becomes shallow, but in severe cases, the airway can completely close, causing the person to stop breathing for a few seconds. This can happen multiple times a night.
Often, those with sleep apnoea don’t know they have it, since it only occurs while they’re asleep. A partner might notice loud snoring, gasping, or choking sounds first.
Our dentists provide a straightforward and effective solution for snoring. We use a dental device called SomnoMed, which is a Mandibular Advancement Device. It’s designed to fit your mouth and gently moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep.
This keeps your airway more open so air can pass through easier, leading to less snoring, better sleep, and fewer breathing issues at night.
Why Use a Custom Snoring Appliance in Potts Point?
- It fits your mouth just right.
- It’s more comfortable than one-size-fits-all devices.
- It doesn’t need power or batteries.
- It’s small, easy to carry, and easy to clean.
- It may help reduce sleep apnoea for some people.
