Snoring and your smile may not seem related – but for dentists, they really are. At smilogy, we care about your overall health and wellness, which often begins in your mouth. We may be able to help with snoring using custom oral appliances.<\/p>\n
Snoring is loud, annoying, embarrassing – and could even be a sign of a health problem such as sleep apnoea. It’s time you learned how your dentist can help.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re keeping yourself or your loved one awake and you\u2019ve read what makes snoring worse<\/a> and yet nothing you\u2019ve tried has worked so far, your dentist may be able to help.<\/p>\n At smilogy, we use oral appliances which look a lot like sports mouthguards, which are designed to be slept in. These special mouthguards work by supporting the jaw, helping to keep airways open and breathing unobstructed.<\/p>\n When airways are open, there are fewer vibrations caused by friction – vibrations which sound to us like loud snores.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s not just the noise that makes snoring a problem. When snoring is a sign of sleep apnoea, breathing is interrupted during sleep. This can mean your body doesn\u2019t get the rest and oxygen it needs, which can leave you feeling tired and may be linked with other health issues.<\/p>\n Sleep apnoea is diagnosed by a doctor, often with a sleep study. If you\u2019re worried that your snoring could be more than just noise, see your GP.<\/p>\n At smilogy, we take precise impressions of your smile using 3D scanning. This means the mouthguard we then create is custom-fit to your contours, so it\u2019s less likely to move around as you sleep.<\/p>\n Because they\u2019re not one-size-fits-all, these mouthguards are designed to be comfortable. Most people can breathe, talk and sleep normally while wearing one.<\/p>\n Our mouthguards are discreet, and you won\u2019t need noisy apparatus. They\u2019re easy to care for and easy to take away with you. If it\u2019s your partner who snores, you might also like my partner\u2019s snoring is so annoying<\/a>.<\/p>\n To get started with smilogy, simply book a 3D scan at our Edgecliff or Castle Hill clinic.<\/p>\n Find out more about snoring treatment at smilogy<\/a>, or book a scan at our edgecliff or castle hill clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your dentist may be able to help with snoring using a custom oral appliance that supports your jaw while you sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ih-snoring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":301,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions\/301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smilogy.com.au\/dental-clinics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}why is dental treatment necessary?<\/h2>\n
