Cincinnati Sleep Apnea/Snoring
Is snoring interfering with restful sleep in your home? We can help. Dr. Fred Peck offers sleep apnea treatment appliances, which are an effective, non-surgical solution to snoring.
Why Do People Snore?
Snoring happens when tissues in the throat vibrate as air passes quickly through the breathing passage. The narrowing of the breathing passage during sleep is the culprit here. When muscles and tissues in the throat relax, they shrink the passageway, which induces the soft tissue vibrations we hear as snoring.
Can Snoring Be Cured?
Snoring is a symptom of a condition called sleep apnea. Severe cases of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, in which breathing is completely impeded, may require surgical treatment. But for many cases—mild and moderate sleep apnea or when snoring is the only problem—the solution is simple and non-surgical. In our practice, we effectively treat snoring and mild sleep apnea through the use of oral appliances.
Non-Surgical Sleep Apnea Treatment
Our non-surgical treatment involves wearing an oral appliance known as a mandibular advancement device. It works by bringing the lower jaw as well as the tongue forward, enlarging the breathing passage. The result is unrestricted breathing and a return to normal airflow, which means an end to the annoying vibrations we call snoring.
