Loud, persistent snoring is more than just an annoyance – it can significantly impact your sleep quality, your partner’s sleep, and even be a warning sign of a more serious underlying health condition.

What Causes Snoring, and When is it Serious?

Snoring occurs when the airflow through your mouth and nose is partially obstructed during sleep. As you breathe, the vibrating soft tissues in your throat (like your soft palate and uvula) create the characteristic harsh sound. Common factors contributing to snoring include:

  • Relaxed throat muscles during deep sleep
  • Nasal congestion or anatomical blockages
  • Excess weight around the neck
  • Alcohol consumption before bed
  • Sleeping on your back

While occasional snoring might be harmless, loud, chronic snoring – especially when accompanied by gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing – is often a key symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). If you or your partner observe these signs, a professional evaluation is crucial to rule out this serious condition.

The Impact of Untreated Snoring

Beyond the obvious disruption to sleep, chronic snoring can lead to:

  • Fragmented Sleep: Both for the snorer and their bed partner, leading to daytime fatigue, irritability, and reduced productivity.
  • Relationship Strain: The noise can cause significant frustration and resentment between partners.
  • Potential Health Risks: If snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea, it’s linked to serious conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Our Approach to Snoring Treatment with Dr. Rebecca Lauck

At NTX Sleep Solutions, our primary and most effective treatment for snoring, especially snoring associated with sleep apnea, is Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). Dr. Rebecca Lauck utilizes her extensive experience and specialized training to provide custom-fitted solutions that address the root cause of your snoring.

How Oral Appliances Stop Snoring:

A custom oral appliance is a small, comfortable device that fits over your teeth, similar to a sports mouthguard. Worn only while you sleep, it works by:

  • Gently repositioning your lower jaw and/or tongue forward.
  • Preventing the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing and vibrating.
  • Maintaining an open and clear airway, allowing for quiet, unobstructed breathing.
