Loud snoring isn’t just disruptive, it can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that affects your breathing while you sleep. At Lane Dentistry, we provide comfortable oral appliance therapy to help reduce snoring, improve sleep quality, and support your overall health.
Snoring occurs when airflow is partially blocked while you sleep, causing the soft tissues in your throat to vibrate. Factors such as airway anatomy, jaw position, sleeping posture, weight, nasal congestion, and certain lifestyle habits can all contribute to snoring.

No. While occasional snoring is common, frequent or loud snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. If your snoring is accompanied by daytime fatigue, gasping during sleep, or pauses in breathing, it’s important to be evaluated.
A custom oral appliance gently repositions your jaw to help keep your airway open while you sleep. This can reduce snoring and improve airflow, helping you breathe more comfortably throughout the night.
Yes. Oral appliances are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and are much smaller and easier to wear than a CPAP mask. Most patients adjust to wearing them within a short period of time.
If sleep apnea is suspected, a sleep study is typically needed to confirm the diagnosis before treatment begins. Dr. Lane will evaluate your symptoms and, if necessary, work with your physician or a sleep specialist to determine the best next steps.
