Snoring Solutions: Do Night Guards Work?

🦷 How Night Guards Can Reduce Snoring

Night guards work by slightly repositioning your lower jaw, preventing soft tissue vibration in the throat that causes snoring. While over-the-counter options exist, custom night guards from NewSmile are molded to your teeth for optimal comfort and effectiveness. These devices not only help with snoring but also protect against bruxism (teeth grinding).

💡 What Is a Smile Assessment?

A Smile Assessment evaluates your bite, jaw alignment, and oral health to determine if a night guard is suitable. At NewSmile, this simple at-home assessment helps identify whether a custom night guard could benefit you, both for snoring reduction and teeth protection. It ensures that your device is designed to improve comfort and overall sleep quality.

🦷 Night Guards vs. Other Anti-Snoring Devices

Understanding different anti-snoring devices can help you choose the best solution:

• ✔ Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): Pull the lower jaw forward to open airways significantly.
• ✔ Tongue Retaining Devices (TRDs): Hold the tongue forward to prevent airway obstruction.
• ✔ CPAP Machines: Provide continuous airflow for sleep apnea; effective but less convenient for mild snoring.
• ✔ Custom Night Guards: Balance comfort and effectiveness, helping with both snoring and bruxism.

🌙 Lifestyle Habits That Reduce Snoring

Even with a night guard, healthy habits improve results:

• 🍽 Maintain a healthy weight: Reduces airway pressure and snoring.
• 🚫 Avoid alcohol or sedatives: These relax throat muscles, increasing snoring risk.
• 🛏 Sleep on your side: Helps keep airways clear.
• 💨 Keep nasal passages clear: Use humidifiers or saline sprays.
