Stop Snoring for Good with Our Sensational Treatments

If snoring is keeping your household awake at night or causing arguments with your partner, now is the time to act. At Clifton Dental Studio, we understand the importance of good quality sleep and we have effective treatments available to prevent snoring and restore peace at home.

About snoring

Snoring is the name given to noises made when you sleep, which occur as a result of the soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating. These noises include snorting, grunting and breathing heavily. Most people snore from time to time, usually when they have been drinking alcohol, when they sleep on their back or when they are ill with a cough or cold; however, sometimes, snoring can be persistent and if this is the case, there may be an underlying cause. The most common risk factors for snoring include:
  • being overweight
  • smoking
  • lying on your back
  • drinking alcohol (especially before you go to bed)
  • allergies

What can be done about snoring?

In many cases, making basic changes to your sleep routine and the position you sleep in can have very positive effects; this may involve sleeping on your side and avoiding alcohol in the evenings. In other cases, making slightly more drastic lifestyle changes may be advisable; this may include cutting down on drinking, giving up smoking and losing weight by following a healthy eating plan and doing more exercise. We can also help snorers by providing a custom-made appliance called the Somnowell mandibular advancement device; this device helps to prevent snoring by opening up the airway while you sleep and increasing air flow. The Somnowell device works by moving the lower jaw forward slightly and maintaining this position when you are asleep. The appliance is easy to use and it is fitted to you, so you should find it very comfortable. We recommend Somnowell because it is tried and tested and the results are very impressive; if you would like to find out more, simply give us a call.

We Can Turn Your Snores into Stress-Free Sleep

Snoring can take its toll on even the most energetic and optimistic people, especially if it becomes a nightly problem. Whether you live with a snorer or you are dealing with grumbling from others in your household, we can help.

Why do I snore?

The most common reasons people snore include:
  • allergies and illnesses (such as colds, which cause congestion)
  • sleeping on your back
  • drinking alcohol
  • smoking
  • being overweight
Taking sedatives can also cause you to snore. Many people snore occasionally, usually when they change their sleeping position or they are struggling to breathe due to a short-term illness such as a cough or cold. However, some people snore on a regular basis and this can be a sign that your body is struggling to get enough oxygen when you sleep.

What can be done to stop snoring?

Snoring varies in severity and in mild cases, making lifestyle changes can have a very positive impact. Examples of these changes including giving up drinking alcohol in the evenings, cutting down or quitting smoking, losing weight, changing your sleeping position and doing more exercise. Not taking sedatives can also help you to stop snoring. If you struggle to get to sleep, there may be other therapies, which could help. In more severe cases, we recommend Somnowell treatment. This involves placing a mandibular advancement appliance in the mouth before you go to sleep. This appliance is designed to move the jaw forward and hold it in this position and it helps to aid snorers by increasing air flow. We have been using Somnowell treatment for several years and we find it to be extremely effective.

Stop Snoring for Good with Clifton's Anti-Snoring Treatment

Disrupted sleep can soon cause you to feel tired, lethargic and irritable. If you regularly wake yourself up with snoring or you’re struggling to sleep because you share a bed with a snorer, now is the time to do something about it and start your journey to undisturbed, peaceful nights.

Why do I snore?

Snoring is a very common problem and in most cases it is occasional. Potential causes include sleeping on your back, allergies and illnesses such as colds and coughs. If you snore on a regular basis it may be down to underlying issues that prevent the body from getting enough oxygen while you sleep. The most common risk factors include being overweight, smoking, drinking alcohol and structural problems that affect the passage of air through the nostrils.

How can I stop snoring?

Sometimes, stopping snoring is as simple as giving up alcohol in the evening, taking allergy medication or swapping your sleeping position so that you lie on your side rather than your back. However, in other cases, more drastic changes such as giving up smoking and losing weight may be required. In cases where lifestyle changes are not sufficient, we can help to prevent snoring by providing Somnowell treatment. Somnowell offers a range of treatments, including a mandibular advancement appliance that holds the jaw in the optimum position to encourage air flow. Unlike similar devices, the Somnowell advancement mandibular appliance also helps to reduce the risk of oral health problems including decay and gum disease, as it is resistant to fungi and bacteria. Somnowell also provides treatments for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder and sleep apnoea. If snoring is getting to you or your partner is begging you to do something to stop your snoring, call now and make an appointment.  

Stop Snoring for Good in Swindon

Do you live with a snorer? Are you conscious about staying away from home because you snore on a regular basis? Are you longing for a peaceful, undisturbed night of sleep? If so, we can help!

What causes snoring?

Snoring is a very common problem and it isn’t usually anything to worry about. However, if you snore on a persistent basis, this can be a sign that your body isn’t getting enough oxygen, and treatment may be beneficial. Many people tend to snore from time to time when they’re ill and bunged up, they’ve been on a night out or they are sleeping on their back. The most common risk factors for persistent snoring include smoking, obesity and allergies. The sound you hear when somebody is snoring is caused by the soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrating.

How we can help

If you snore on a regular basis and making changes to your lifestyle haven’t had any effect, we may recommend using a specially designed appliance that moves the jaw forward. You wear the appliance when you are sleeping and it helps to increase air flow by keeping the airway open. We understand that snoring can have a real impact on day to day life, so if you’re bothered by snoring, don’t suffer in silence. We can help to ensure you and your family enjoy a silent night in no time!
