Nighttime teeth grinding is just one oral problem people face while sleeping. Snoring can signify you’re not breathing as well as you should while you sleep, and it can disrupt your partner, too. Snoring dental appliances will change the position of your jaws or tongue while you sleep, opening up your airways and cutting back on the soft tissue that vibrates and causes snoring. As a bonus, you can’t grind your teeth while you’re wearing one of these devices, either.
Snoring is a sign of sleep apnea, too. If you have sleep apnea, your doctor and dentist might work to come up with a dental appliance solution to this issue. Sleep apnea can be a dangerous condition which leads to heart problems and in extreme cases, death. Dental appliances are only one treatment option for sleep apnea, and may be used in conjunction with other treatments.
