Snoring prevention devices, also known as snore guards or mandibular advancement devices (MAD), are oral appliances used to prevent snoring by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue. These devices work by gently advancing the jaw to open the airway, reducing vibration in the throat that causes snoring.
The device is custom-fitted to the patient's mouth using impressions or digital scans, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. By keeping the airway clear during sleep, these devices can significantly reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
Snoring prevention devices are a simple, effective, and non-invasive solution for individuals who snore but do not suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. They are often recommended as an alternative to more complex treatments like CPAP machines.
By using snoring prevention devices, patients and their partners can experience a more restful night’s sleep, free from the disruptions caused by snoring.
