For anyone who has to live with the side effects of persistent snoring, the associated lack of sleep for both the snorer and their partner can be traumatic, frustrating and even dangerous.

Headaches, over-tiredness, irritability and loss of productivity can all be caused by regular snoring, not to mention the negative effect that it can have on a relationship over time.
Otherwise known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, snoring can now be effectively treated using dental treatments, with the fitting of an oral anti-snoring device. The treatment is painless, comfortable to wear and more importantly, an effective method for preventing snoring.

Similar to a custom fitting mouth guard, the oral appliance positions the jaw and tongue in such a way as to allow air to move freely and therefore eliminate the associated noise that comes when the tongue slips back into the throat.

The appliance does not prevent the opening and closing of the mouth and talking and yawning are also left unrestricted.
While the short term effects of snoring can be relatively harmless in the long term, chronic snorers can develop high blood pressure and are more likely to suffer from lung or heart problems.
