Anti-Snoring Procedures and Devices available in North Bethesda

The specific cause of snoring lies at the back of the throat, where, during sleep, the tongue and lower jaw relax backwards, causing the soft tissues to vibrate as air passes in and out of the lungs. These vibrations of the soft tissues in the mouth and throat result in what is called “noisy breathing” or generally referred to as snoring. Available in North Bethesda.

Although there are surgical procedures available as remedies to snoring, other non-invasive anti-snoring procedures are typically more desirable as a first treatment option. A popular and comfortable option that is non-invasive is a anti-snoring device such as Silent Nite.

Silent Nite is a custom fitted anti-snoring device that is worn at night while sleeping and functions to decrease snoring by moving the lower jaw into a forward position. This forward positioning of the lower jaw increases the space available in the airway tube and decreases the amount of vibration and thus decreases the amount of snoring.

Anti-snoring devices such as Silent Nite have been shown to decrease snoring by 70 to 100%. The fit of the product form is customized based on a model of the mouth and therefore provides a comfortable fit. If you or a loved one suffers from snoring, call today for a Silent Nite consultation.

If you have further questions on whether Silent Nite is right for you, please contact our office for an appointment.
