What to know:
Snoring appliances are specially designed devices made to alleviate snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. These appliances consist of upper and lower hard retainers that lock together, gently shifting the lower jaw forward.
This adjustment helps keep your airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and improving airflow.
