Snoring Appliances

Have you ever awakened yourself from a deep sleep by snoring? Have others told you that you snore in your sleep?

While snoring is a nuisance to those around you, it may also be a sign of a more serious breathing disorder known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea results when you stop breathing at intervals throughout the night. The body awakens enough to breath, though you might not be aware of a problem. Sleep apnea can result in daytime drowsiness, memory loss, high blood pressure, and even premature death.

The traditional treatment for obstructive sleep apnea has been a radical surgical procedure called an uvulopalatopharnygoplasty (UPPP) or the use of a breathing aid known as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Both treatment have had limited success.

The Comprehensive Dental Group of Houston offers an alternative treatment that is fabricated in the office – an oral appliance. The snoring appliance is 98% effective in preventing snoring, and the brand we use is the only one that can be adjusted for your comfort. It's called the Thornton Adjustable Positioner (TAP), and it takes just two short visits to have the appliance made.
