Sleep Better with a Custom Dental Appliance for Snoring
Our team—including Dr. Michelle Saunders, Dr. Justin Anderson, Dr. Lesley R. Nellor, and Dr. Daniel Davis—creates comfortable, dentist-prescribed oral appliances that keep your airway open during sleep. If you're ready to experience quieter nights and more restful mornings, we’re here to help.
What Is a Snore Guard?
A snore guard is a small, removable oral appliance worn at night. It works by gently repositioning your lower jaw forward, which helps prevent airway obstruction—the most common cause of snoring.
Unlike bulky CPAP machines or over-the-counter mouthpieces, our custom snoring mouthpieces are:
- Custom-molded for your comfort and bite
- Made of durable, medical-grade material
- Easy to clean, travel with, and wear nightly
- Non-invasive and silent
We design every snore guard based on digital impressions to ensure a precise fit and effective results.
Who Can Benefit from a Snore Guard?
Snore guards are an ideal solution for patients who:
- Experience chronic or loud snoring
- Wake up feeling tired or unrested
- Have a partner or family member affected by their snoring
- Have been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea but prefer a non-CPAP option
- Cannot tolerate CPAP machines due to noise or discomfort
If you're unsure whether your snoring may be tied to sleep apnea, we’ll review your health history and may coordinate with your physician or sleep specialist for further evaluation.
Why Dental Appliances Work for Snoring
Snoring often occurs when soft tissues in the throat collapse during sleep, partially blocking airflow and causing noisy vibrations. A custom snore guard helps by:
- Keeping the lower jaw slightly forward
- Stabilizing the tongue and soft palate
- Promoting proper airflow
- Reducing vibration and tissue collapse
This allows for quieter breathing, better sleep, and improved oxygen intake—without surgery, medication, or machines.

FAQs About Snore Guards

Answer text goes here
Are snore guards comfortable to wear?
Yes. Unlike store-bought devices, our snore guards are designed for your exact bite and jaw position, making them far more comfortable and easier to tolerate long-term.
Will a snore guard cure sleep apnea?
Snore guards can be effective for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, but they are not a cure. We may recommend further sleep testing or coordination with a sleep physician for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Can I use a snore guard instead of a CPAP machine?
For many patients with mild sleep apnea or primary snoring, a dental appliance is a viable alternative to CPAP. We’ll work with you to determine what’s appropriate based on your condition and comfort.
How do I clean my snore guard?
Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive soap or a specialized cleaner. Avoid hot water, which can warp the device. Always store it in a ventilated case when not in use.
Are snore guards covered by insurance?
Medical insurance may cover the cost if the appliance is prescribed for sleep apnea. Our team will help you navigate coverage and discuss financing options if needed.
