Stop Snoring
Stop Snoring Solutions at Yeronga Smile Dental
Why do people snore, and when is it a problem? Snoring happens when air flow is partially blocked during sleep, causing vibrations in the soft tissues of your throat. While occasional snoring can be harmless, persistent or loud snoring can disrupt sleep — both for you and your partner — and may be a sign of a more serious issue such as obstructive sleep apnoea.
If you're looking for professional help to stop snoring in Brisbane, Yeronga Smile Dental provides customised dental solutions that improve sleep quality and overall health.
How can a dentist help with snoring?
Many people are surprised to learn that a dentist can play a key role in managing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea. We offer custom-made oral appliances (also known as mandibular advancement devices) that reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.
These devices are comfortable, discreet, and non-invasive — making them a great alternative to bulky CPAP machines for many people.
What is a sleep appliance and how does it work?
A sleep appliance is a removable device that gently moves your lower jaw forward, helping to prevent airway collapse and reduce or eliminate snoring. It’s worn at night, similar to a mouthguard, and is custom-made to fit your mouth precisely.
Benefits include:
- Improved breathing during sleep
- Reduced or eliminated snoring
- Better sleep quality and daytime alertness
- Enhanced comfort compared to other treatment options
What’s involved in getting a sleep appliance?
At Yeronga Smile Dental, the process is simple and comfortable:
- Consultation and screening: We assess your symptoms and, if needed, refer you for a sleep study.
- Impressions and fitting: We take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a customised appliance.
- Delivery and adjustment: Once your appliance is ready, we’ll fit it and make any adjustments needed for comfort and effectiveness.
- Follow-up and support: We check in regularly to ensure your appliance continues to work well over time.
Is snoring always linked to sleep apnoea?
Not necessarily. While loud, habitual snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnoea, some people snore without having a sleep disorder. That said, if your snoring is accompanied by gasping, pauses in breathing, or daytime fatigue, it’s important to get assessed.
Can snoring be harmful to my health?
Yes — chronic snoring, especially when linked to sleep apnoea, can affect your overall wellbeing. Interrupted sleep impacts concentration, memory, mood, and energy levels. Long-term, it may also contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health risks.
Is a sleep appliance comfortable to wear?
Yes. Our devices are custom-fitted for comfort and made with lightweight, biocompatible materials. Most patients find them easy to adapt to and much more convenient than other options like CPAP.
