Myths About Snoring Nozzles

Nowadays there is an excess of information on many issues, and the problem of snoring is not far behind. Sometimes, when we look for answers, we find a multitude of pages with scattered and contradictory data. We are going to expose a relationship of truths and myths about snoring to make clear some ideas about which often is not well informed.

Snoring does not discriminate.

Anyone of any age, gender, or state of health can suffer from snoring. Some cases are mild to moderate, while others can be severe and result in a variety of health concerns including sleep apnea. One solution for preventing the harm caused by snoring could be by utilizing a snoring mouthpiece. Many potential patients, however, may harbor some reservations about their effects on a patient’s teeth. Here, we bust three myths about snoring mouthpieces and teeth.

     

Snoring mouthpieces do not stain your teeth.

Trying to stop snoring in the middle of sleep is much more about health than it is about aesthetics. But humans are a vain species! Thus it should come as no surprise that many people are worried what placing a mouthpiece into their mouth every night might do to the physical appearance of their teeth. However, if you take proper care of both your teeth and the mouthpiece each night, you should have nothing to worry about for your pearly whites!“They do not cause tooth staining,” says family, cosmetic and implant dentist Dr. Marielaina Perrone on Snore.net. “However, you should always thoroughly clean the appliance after use and let it air dry. Your teeth should be brushed and flossed before placing the anti snoring devices into your mouth for the night. Also, have your appliance checked and cleaned at your regular dental hygiene appointments.”
Experts note, however, that you should always be careful — especially if you already have other implants in your teeth. Amalgams or silver fillings can create stains on the mouthpiece, but that can often depend on the liner the patient uses. Nor will this interfere with the longevity of the mouthpiece.!

With proper precautions, the snoring mouthpiece will not cause your teeth to shift or move in a damaging way.A snoring device that is not explicitly built to run or change your teeth is not going to change the position of your teeth over time — in general, at least. As in life, nothing is inevitable, and moving teeth is always a risk, and tons of patients will often find the layout of their mouth has changed a bit after removal each day. The patient’s bite layout may alter briefly, a change which will revert to normal once the patient stops utilizing the mouthpiece. (Think of it as the short shift in tooth alignment that takes place if a former wearer of braces tries to put on his or her nightly retainers after several days or weeks of not doing so.)Most people whose bites change shape choose not to seek restorative treatment or help, as the shift in alignment will rarely interfere with their ability to speak, chew and swallow. Ultimately, the choice is up to each whether the consequences of the health risks associated with snoring are worth the possible minor, usually temporary, a shift in a bite or tooth layout.
The best way to counteract this possible effect, according to experts, is to make sure the mouthpiece is custom fitted for the patient’s unique mouth. This will also go for a more comfortable sleep cycle at night, and reduce aches and pains upon removal in the morning.

You should not just rely on sleeping pills for a good night’s sleep — a mouthpiece often works and is relatively inexpensive.Just like braces, a mouthpiece might not be for everyone — and it is essential to keep in mind you should not freak out just because you are occasionally snoring (everyone does sometimes, after all!). However, only achieving a good night’s sleep by taking a few sleeping pills or drinking chamomile tea will only help you in the short term.
Many people who would benefit the most from a snoring mouthpiece choose not to get one because they are afraid of the costs of going to a dentist or shelling out for a custom fitting. For those who might hope to save some money, there are alternative options. You can find “boil and bite” mouthpieces at your local pharmacy or drugstore. These night mouth guard works by placing them in boiling water to soften up the plastic material. Then, the patient takes them out and allows it to cool slightly, but not enough for the material to harden up again — and then bites into it to create their custom cast. These options are often much more affordable.
