Snoring Treatment in Las Vegas, NV


Chronic snoring can lead to disturbed sleep. Snoring happens typically when the mouth, tongue, and throat tissues become relaxed. This can hinder the body's ability to circulate air freely through the throat and nose due to the partial closing of the upper airway, making you snore. Snoring can be extremely annoying and may also be an indication of other severe medical conditions. At Dream Dental Clinic Las Vegas, the Dentist in Las Vegas, NV, provides various types of snoring devices based on the causes of the closing of the airway.

What Are Snoring Devices?

Snoring devices are mouthpieces that can provide relief from the condition. The anti-snoring mouthpieces bring the jaw forward, thus widening the back of the airway, reducing resistance and turbulence, which can stop the snoring.

These devices generally fall into categories, namely, mandibular advancement devices (MAD) and tongue retaining devices (TRDs). The mandibular advancement devices are fitted inside the mouth and work by pushing the lower jaw forward to open up the airway. Tongue retaining devices (TRDs) grasp the tongue and prevent it from collapsing into the back of the throat, which is the primary cause of snoring. At Dream Dental Clinic Las Vegas, we offer specialized Panthera D-SAD (Digital Sleep Apnea Device) for patients with sleep apnea and snoring. 

Types of Snoring Devices

The chief criterion for selecting a snoring device is its ease of use. When the device is comfy, it will motivate you to use it as much as possible, resulting in noticeable relief in your snoring. There are several kinds of snoring devices that work in different manners. The following are the most widely preferred snoring devices, also called jaw advancing devices (JAD).

Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) 

This device is named after the mandible or jaw bone. It works by moving the jaw slightly forward, leading to a better separation of the vibrating elements in the throats of snorers. This action of the mandibular devices will control the turbulence and reduce snoring. 

Tongue Stabilizing Devices (TSDs)

The tongue stabilizing devices take a slightly different approach and work by isolating the tongue, pulling it forward, and creating a more significant space between the tongue and the back of the throat. This will help eliminate or reduce snoring. One of the benefits of TSD devices is that they generally do not cause jawbone discomfort. They are less likely to cause TMJ disorders or loosening of teeth. 

The Panthera D-SAD (Digital Sleep Apnea Device)

The Panthera D-SAD (Digital Sleep Apnea Device) is an FDA-approved appliance that addresses snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. These devices are to be worn at night and are safe to use as they do not contain any BPA or phthalate. Panthera sleep apnea appliances are digitally printed in medical-grade nylon and are comfortable and durable. These devices place the lower jaw in a forward position, easing snoring, and are effective in treating mild to moderate sleep apnea conditions.

The fully CAD/CAM D-SAD is tailor-made for each patient by designing on a computer from optically scanned information and is then 3D printed on biocompatible polyamide medical grade nylon by utilizing the latest technology. 

Benefits Offered by Panthera D-SAD 

Small and lightweight: This means more room for the tongue so that the patient can speak and drink without any interruption. 

Minimized risk of tooth movement: The device doesn't have any contact with the incisor contact but is anchored on the strongest teeth.

Medical grade nylon polyamide type 12: This ensures that the device is highly tensile and resists bruxing, cracking, and abrasion.

Biocompatible material: Since the Panthera appliance is made of biocompatible materials, this prevents any allergy and intolerances.

Easy to clean: Maintenance of the device's hygiene is easy. 

A single-material device that includes titration rods but without any metal parts: This reduces the risk of breakage.

How Long Do Snoring Devices Last?

The longevity of the devices depends on the type and the frequency of their use. Most snoring devices can last for more than a year, while some may last longer. But if you have teeth-grinding or clenching conditions, it may wear down the devices faster.
