Snoring can significantly impact both the quality of sleep and overall health. Dr. Chandy Randall specializes in providing effective snoring treatment in Boise, Idaho, using oral appliances. We are committed to helping our patients achieve restful sleep and improved wellbeing.
Understanding Snoring and Its Causes
Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is obstructed during sleep, resulting in noisy breathing sounds. Common causes of snoring include anatomical factors such as a narrow airway, enlarged tonsils or adenoids and obesity. Lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking and sleep position can also contribute to snoring.
Treatment with Oral Appliances
Oral appliances, also known as mandibular advancement devices (MADs), are custom-fitted mouthpieces that help alleviate snoring by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. These devices are comfortable to wear and adjustable to ensure optimal effectiveness and patient comfort. Oral appliances are a noninvasive and convenient alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for snoring treatment.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy
Oral appliances offer numerous benefits for individuals suffering from snoring. By improving airflow and reducing airway obstruction, these devices can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring episodes, leading to better sleep quality for both the snorer and their partner. Additionally, treating snoring with oral appliances can lower the risk of associated health problems such as sleep apnea, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
