Snoring isn’t just a habit that can keep both you and your partner awake at night—it also has an impact on your general wellbeing. While there are surgical remedies available to help those affected, a simple anti-snoring device fitted by a dentist can also do the trick. Here, dental professional Dr. Robert Petrtyl of Cincinnati, OH, explains why it’s worth your while to address this irritating nighttime habit. 

By allowing you to get a better night’s sleep, an anti-snoring device can help you feel more energized and alert during the day. The rest that your anti-snoring device will provide also comes with many health benefits. Snoring impedes oxygen intake at night, which negatively impacts immune function. Because of this, your device will have you enjoying less frequent colds and illnesses. It will also nix the stopping and starting of breathing that often accompanies snoring, contributing to better circulation and lowered blood pressure. 

All of the benefits of an anti-snoring device come with minimal time and effort on your part. A dentist who specializes in anti-snoring can create a custom-made model to fit your mouth exactly, much like a retainer. It works by physically stabilizing the jaw, ensuring that neither the tongue nor the soft palate tissue obstructs the airway. Once it’s ready, you take it home and wear it regularly when you go to bed at night. This offers an immediate, non-invasive solution.
