Anti-Snoring Dental Appliances

Anti-snoring dental appliances are oral devices worn during sleep to help reduce snoring. Some models gently move the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway more open. They may benefit selected patients, but obstructive sleep apnea should be assessed before treatment begins.

Which specialist fits an anti-snoring appliance?

A dentist trained in dental sleep medicine can assess and fit an oral appliance. If there are pauses in breathing during sleep, severe daytime sleepiness, or suspected sleep apnea, medical evaluation is needed, usually by a sleep medicine specialist or pulmonologist.

Can anti-snoring appliances treat sleep apnea?

Some custom oral appliances can be used to treat selected cases of obstructive sleep apnea under professional supervision. Diagnosis should be confirmed through a sleep evaluation, and treatment should be tailored to the clinical situation.
