Snoring 😴 isn’t just disruptive—it can also signal a deeper issue with nighttime breathing.
Snoring typically occurs when the soft tissues in the back of the throat partially block the airway during sleep. As air moves through a narrowed passage, it causes vibrations in the tissue, producing the familiar snoring sound.
Dr. Junker offers custom-fitted snore guards to help reduce or eliminate snoring by gently repositioning the jaw during sleep. These devices are a conservative, non-invasive option that improves airflow, enhances sleep quality, and benefits both the wearer and their sleep partner.
If you or someone you know is ready to learn more about how a snore guard can help, we recommend to begin with a consultation and airway screening. If a snore guard is recommended, we’ll take digital impressions and bite records to fabricate your appliance. Once it’s ready, you’ll return for a custom fitting and instructions for wear and care.
Patients often notice improvement within just a few nights.
In some cases, snoring is a sign of a more serious condition, such as obstructive sleep apnea. During your consultation, we’ll help determine whether a simple snore guard or more advanced sleep therapy is appropriate.
If you or someone in your household snores regularly, a custom oral appliance may provide an effective and comfortable solution and we are here to help. Call us today to schedule the consultation, (949) 640-2970, or mention this topic to us at your next routine dental visit.
