Snoring is more than simply an annoying habit. Besides creating broken sleep for individuals and their partners, it can also be an indicator of a much more serious medical condition called ‘sleep apnea’.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where a person’s breathing stops and starts while sleeping. This happens because the muscles at the back of the throat relax too much and temporarily block the airway. Pauses in breathing, or ‘apneas’, can last for a few seconds or minutes and may occur throughout the night. As you can imagine, pauses in breathing are not healthy and can result in health issues, daytime fatigue, and of course, that dreaded loud snoring.
The good news is that there are solutions available. At Carlton Dental Care we offer custom made mouth inserts that are comfortable to wear and much less intrusive than breathing machines. This ingenious dental insert is placed in your mouth at bedtime and worn all night. It works by moving your lower jaw forward so that your tongue can’t fall back into your throat. It significantly reduces snoring and/or sleep apnea in most people, and could be the ideal solution for you.

If you or your partner snore loudly or feel excessively tired and irritable during the day, a dental device may be just the solution you have been looking for.
At Carlton Dental Care, we offer specialized snore mouth guard services designed to help patients eliminate sleeping pauses caused by snoring and sleep apnea, thereby minimizing fatigue and improving overall health. Snoring and sleep apnea can significantly disrupt your sleep patterns, leading to daytime fatigue, irritability, and a host of other health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and decreased cognitive function. Our custom-fitted snore mouth guards are an effective, non-invasive solution that can help you achieve a better night’s sleep and improve your quality of life.
Our snore mouth guards work by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing the vibrations that cause snoring and preventing the airway from collapsing, which is a common issue in sleep apnea. These devices are made from high-quality, durable materials and are custom-designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, ensuring maximum effectiveness and ease of use. By wearing a snore mouth guard, you can experience uninterrupted sleep, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
