What Is Snoring?
Snoring is a common sleep occurrence characterized by the harsh, loud breathing sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat, causing them to vibrate. This physiological phenomenon happens when the airway becomes narrowed or partially blocked during sleep, often due to factors like the tongue falling back, excess throat tissue, or nasal congestion.
What are the Side Effects of Snoring?
While snoring may seem like a mere annoyance, it can have far-reaching consequences:
- Reduced sleep quality
- Disrupted sleep for partners or family members
- Daytime fatigue and decreased productivity
- Increased risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can lead to more serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Snoring is often a symptom of your body’s fight for oxygen. If you ever have heard, or experienced, the gasping, choking, or startling awake that can accompany snoring, your body is likely being deprived of the oxygen it needs.
How Can I Stop Snoring?
Best Sleep Today offers two primary effective snoring treatment options to help you and your loved ones get a restful night’s sleep:
Oral Appliance Therapy: These devices reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open, preventing snoring. By maintaining the tongue and jaw’s forward position, the device increases the likelihood that the airway will remain open. Most patients who wear oral appliances from Best Sleep Today report a significant increase in deep, restful sleep with a reduction in daytime sleepiness, brain fog, and more.

Solea Snore Therapy: While snoring is usually a symptom of a larger issue, we can help reduce or eliminate your snoring by using our Solea laser on the back of the throat. Solea works by gently tightening the collagen fibers of the soft tissue, reducing vibrations and helping to limit the disruptions and noise caused by snoring.
