What Causes Snoring?

Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissue in the back of the throat, which can occur when the airway is partially blocked. There are several factors that can contribute to snoring, including:

=

Obesity:

Excess weight, particularly around the neck, can put pressure on the airway and make it more likely to collapse.
=

Alcohol and sedatives:

These substances can relax the muscles in the airway, making it more likely to collapse.
=

Anatomy:

Some people are more likely to snore due to the shape of their airway or the position of their jaw.
=

Smoking:

Smoking can irritate the airway, making it more likely to collapse.
=

Nasal congestion:

A stuffy nose can make it harder to breathe through the nose, which can lead to snoring.

Home Sleep Test

To determine the underlying cause of your snoring, we may recommend a home sleep test. This test is a convenient and comfortable way to monitor your sleep and identify any potential issues. Once the test is complete, one of our experts will review the results and develop a treatment plan specific to your needs and goals.

Lifestyle Changes

Simple lifestyle changes can often help to reduce snoring. For example, losing weight, avoiding alcohol, and quitting smoking can all help to reduce snoring.

Oral Appliances

Custom-fitted oral appliances can help to reposition the jaw and tongue, which can help to keep the airway open and reduce snoring. These appliances are designed to be worn at night and are adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit. They can be a great option for people who have mild to moderate snoring.

If you or a loved one is struggling with snoring, we invite you to schedule an evaluation with one of our experts.
