Snoring may impact the quality of sleep you receive as well as the quality of sleep your loved ones receive. Here at Powell TMJ & Sleep Solutions, we offer treatments to help manage snoring and help you enjoy restful sleep. Because snoring is caused by airway blockages during sleep, such as collapsing tissues in the throat, large tonsils or the tongue tolling back, it can be treated by keeping the airway open.

Your experienced doctor, Dr. Pamela Powell, can provide custom-made oral appliances that minimize snoring by keeping the airway open while you sleep. These appliances work by preventing the tongue from rolling back or by holding your jaw in a position that prevents the airway tissues from relaxing and collapsing. Dr. Powell will ensure that your oral appliance fits your mouth perfectly and physiologically supports your jaw so you can sleep peacefully without the annoyance of snoring.

Addressing Snoring: Sleep Apnea Testing and Treatment Options

Snoring may also be a symptom of sleep apnea; our doctor may recommend that you receive a sleep apnea test from your physician to determine if your snoring is a sign of sleep apnea or not. We are committed to ensuring that you receive proper treatment and can breathe easily at night to get the rest you need.
