If you wear an oral appliance at night while you sleep to reduce snoring or treat sleep apnea, you will likely enjoy results immediately.
The oral appliance is comfortable and easy to wear and get used to. Once you wear it consistently during the night, you should have results, as it will minimize and even eliminate loud snoring in most cases.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a dangerous sleep disorder that causes you to wake multiple times throughout the night, typically due to an obstructed airway. Sleep apnea is often characterized by loud snoring.
When your airway is blocked, the lack of oxygen signals your brain to wake you up. This often occurs without you even realizing it, and it can happen hundreds of times throughout the night in severe cases of sleep apnea.
An oral appliance can be an excellent solution for slightly repositioning the jaw during sleep to open the airway and provide clear breathing and restful sleep.
