Yes, many patients experience immediate relief from snoring when starting oral appliance therapy. The device helps keep the airway clear by moving the jaw into a more optimal position, which can significantly reduce snoring from the first night of use.
Unlike CPAP, which uses air pressure to keep the airway open, oral appliance therapy repositions the jaw to naturally open the airway. Oral appliances are more compact, comfortable, and easier to travel with, offering a quiet, noninvasive alternative for those who find CPAP machines uncomfortable or cumbersome.
Snoring often results from an obstruction in the airway caused by the positioning of the jaw, tongue, or soft tissues around the throat. Dental anatomy, including jaw alignment and dental arches, can influence airway space. An improperly positioned jaw or a narrow dental arch can restrict airflow, leading to snoring and other sleep-related breathing issues.
Oral appliance therapy involves wearing a custom-fit dental device that repositions the jaw to prevent airway blockage during sleep. By keeping the airway open, it helps reduce snoring and interruptions in breathing, making it an effective and noninvasive treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
