Anti-Snoring Device:
Snoring and sleep apnea occur during sleep
when a person’s airway is blocked. The conditions occur when the mouth is open
and the tongue and soft tissue relax and collapse into the throat. Anti-snoring
devices hold the lower jaw in a forward position preventing the tongue and
throat tissues from collapsing the critical airway. There are various designs of
anti-snoring devices. We can work with your physician to determine the proper
oral appliance for your needs.
