Can an Oral Appliance Help With Snoring? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re trying to decide whether an oral appliance for snoring might be right for you, talk with the professionals at Spark Sleep Solution. Our practice is the go-to place for anyone interested in San Ramon oral devices for sleep apnea.

We work hard to provide an honest assessment of how feasible an oral device might be for treating your snoring. If your issues arise from another disorder, such as TMJ, we will point you toward an appropriate solution.

Our practice offers more than 100 potential alternatives to the clunkiness of a CPAP. We also strive to help patients find options that are covered by their insurance carriers and supported by their medical care providers.

When you deal with our practice, you can consult with a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) and the American Sleep & Breathing Academy (ASBA), the top organizations in dental sleep medicine. We also use state-of-the-art pharyngometry and rhinometry systems, non-invasive methods for studying the upper airway for problems like sleep apnea, snoring, and nasal obstructions.

Our practice has a location right in San Ramon. We offer both in-home and lab-based testing options.

Quality and Professionally Designed Oral Appliances

We offer many oral devices that operate similarly to appliances like retainers and aligners. Our technologies allow us to take precise measurements to ensure a comfortable fit. Likewise, we will ensure that the available breathing pathway is sufficient to encourage restful sleep without snoring. If you require a more aggressive solution, we will likely still be able to recommend a less cumbersome solution, such as a TAP PA or a Panthera Appliance.

Impressive Effectiveness

A retrospective study of patient outcomes found that of 220 patients, 25.9% achieved complete resolution of all snoring and sleep apnea problems. Many others reported significant reductions in symptoms. A subsequent FDA review determined that most patients could finish treatment in fewer than ten months.

The FDA has determined that all devices we offer our patients are approved and non-invasive. Many patients find that using an oral appliance for snoring achieves the following results:

  • High comfort while sleeping
  • Easy cleaning
  • Convenient for travel
  • Suitable for individuals with most co-occurring dental problems
  • Easy to position

There is also zero need for replacement parts, so there are no recurring costs.

If you have a high intolerance to wearing a CPAP, you should talk with us about an oral appliance for snoring. No hoses are waiting to snag you while you sleep, a common problem for individuals with restlessness. We offer night and day appliances to maximize mandibular repositioning, including nighttime systems that reposition easily.
