Care starts with understanding your sleep.We help you understand what comes next.

Does snoring mean
sleep apnea?

Snoring does not always mean sleep apnea. Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, choking, or gasping deserves a conversation with a medical provider.

An evaluation can help distinguish snoring from obstructive sleep apnea and determine whether sleep testing is needed.

What else
can contribute?

Nasal congestion, allergies, body weight, alcohol, and sleep position can all play a role. Relaxed tissues in the throat can narrow the airway and create the sound of snoring.

Snoring treatment starts with evaluation.

Changes in sleep position or other habits may help. Dr. DeSaix examines your teeth and jaw here at RespAir to see whether a custom appliance is an option.

If sleep testing finds sleep apnea, we’ll discuss treatment with you and your sleep physician. Options may include CPAP, an oral appliance, or both.

Snoring treatment questions.

Insurance and payment information
Can I use a store-bought mouthguard?

A store-bought mouthguard is not designed to treat sleep apnea. Start with a conversation about your snoring; we’ll help you understand whether testing or a custom appliance makes sense.

What if I also feel tired during the day?

Tell your medical provider about daytime sleepiness, especially alongside loud snoring or breathing pauses. These symptoms may warrant a sleep evaluation.
