What Causes Snoring

Snoring is caused by a narrowed airway during sleep. When you are awake, your airway is held open by gravity and by your muscles, but when you sleep, gravity pulls down on your airway and your muscles relax. Your jaw becomes the main support for the tissues in your throat. When your airway narrows, the air flowing through it becomes turbulent. Think of the water coming out of a hose when you partly block the opening with your thumb. This turbulence causes your throat to vibrate, which is the sound of snoring.

Snoring can be due simply to your anatomy, or it can be caused by many factors including:

  • Being overweight
  • Drinking alcohol before bed
  • Allergies and infections
  • Sleeping on your back
  • Poor bite
  • Nasal Congestion

Men are more likely to be snorers than women, but women can also be snorers. Snoring also tends to worsen with age.

Sometimes snoring is temporary or seasonal, but it can often be a chronic health problem.

Is It Sleep Apnea?

Snorers are at an elevated risk for sleep apnea, a potentially deadly health condition. If you are a snorer and wake up feeling unrested, are tired during the day, suffer mood disorders, or morning headaches, you should be tested for sleep apnea.

Even if you don’t have sleep apnea, snoring tends to reduce your blood oxygen levels, resulting in less restful sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring Treatment

Our sleep dentists have the education and training necessary to diagnose and treat snoring and sleep apnea. While snoring is related to the airway, many medical doctors receive limited training in sleep-related breathing disorders.

Snoring and OSA are closely connected. Most individuals who snore have some degree of airway obstruction, and while not all snorers have OSA, snoring is often a key indicator of the condition. To determine the underlying cause of your snoring, we recommend a sleep study. Once we’ve identified the issue, we can discuss effective, non-invasive treatment options to help you breathe—and sleep—more easily.

One of the most effective treatments we offer is Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). Unlike CPAP, which involves wearing a mask and using a noisy machine, oral appliances are small, quiet, and easy to use. These devices work by gently keeping your airway open during sleep, reducing or eliminating snoring.

Our Omaha sleep dentists will explain how oral appliances work and customize a solution tailored to your needs. Many of our patients find oral appliances far more comfortable and manageable than CPAP therapy.

In most cases, surgery is not necessary. At Advanced Dental Sleep Treatment Center, we prioritize non-invasive treatments like oral appliances and behavioral modifications.

For some individuals, simple changes in sleep habits or lifestyle can make a noticeable difference in snoring. However, each patient’s treatment journey is unique, and it may take time to see significant improvements. Our team will work with you to create a plan that addresses your specific needs.

Snoring can be caused by various factors, including nasal obstructions, fatigue, or a deviated septum. While mild snoring isn’t always a cause for concern, loud or persistent snoring—especially when accompanied by other symptoms—may indicate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

If snoring is affecting your life or your partner’s life, it’s important to seek an evaluation. A home sleep study (HST) can confirm whether your snoring is related to OSA, and our sleep dentists will help you determine the best course of action.

Oral Appliance Therapy is highly effective for reducing or eliminating snoring. By keeping your jaw, tongue, and throat in optimal positions, oral appliances help ensure free airflow during sleep. Most patients experience a significant improvement in their symptoms within days or weeks of beginning treatment.

Delaying treatment for snoring or sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your physical and emotional health. Left untreated, these conditions can increase your risk for:

  • Hypertension
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Stroke
  • Type II diabetes
  • GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease)
  • Daytime fatigue
  • Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
  • Cognitive issues, such as poor concentration and memory problems

Early intervention is key to preventing these complications and improving your overall well-being.

While a sleep study is required for an official sleep apnea diagnosis, there are steps you can take at home to minimize snoring:

  • Adjust Your Sleep Position: Sleeping on your side may help reduce snoring.
  • Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can contribute to airway obstruction.
  • Avoid Alcohol Before Bed: Alcohol relaxes throat muscles, increasing the likelihood of snoring.
  • Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Regular sleep patterns promote better rest.

Keep in mind that these measures may provide temporary relief but won’t address the root cause of snoring. Our sleep dentists can evaluate your symptoms and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan for long-term results.
