Having Problems Sleeping Because Your Spouse Is Snoring Too Loud? Are Your Kids Making Fun Of Your Snoring?

Dr. Agatep and her whole team are highly trained in helping you solve your snoring problem!

Did you know that forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally and 25% are habitual snorers? It is more common in males and overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age.

The sound that snoring makes is from an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. This area is the collapsible part of the airway where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula. Snoring occurs when these structures strike each other and vibrate during breathing.

Here are some reasons why you might be snoring:

**Poor muscle tone in the tongue and throat
**Excessive bulkiness of throat tissue
**Long soft palate and/or uvula
**Obstructed nasal airways
**Deformities of the nose or nasal septum

The question is, how can a dentist help you with snoring? If you are a candidate, Dr. Agatep and her team can help you by fabricating an oral appliance that is fitted inside the mouth and anchored on the teeth ,with the help of high tech devices /machines/computers such as the Pharyngometer and Rhinometer. The oral appliance positions and holds the jaw in a forward posture and moving the anatomic structures that can be causing the obstruction out of the way.
