Inquisition Into the Potential Role of Invisalign in Alleviating Sleep Apnea and Persistent Snoring.
Snores Got You Restless? Here's How Invisalign Might Help
Are you or your partner giving each other sleepless nights due to loud snoring? It can be frustrating and embarrassing, but you're not alone. Over 90 million Americans snore, and it's more common among men.
If snoring is causing you problems, you might wonder if clear aligners like Invisalign can offer a solution. At Lansdowne Family Dental, we understand the challenges snoring presents. Let's explore the connection between Invisalign, straight teeth, and reduced snoring.
What Causes Snoring and Its Commonness
Snoring happens when the airflow gets obstructed as you breathe during sleep. The muscles in your mouth, throat, and tongue relax, causing a narrowing of the airways. This leads to tissue vibration and that bothersome snoring sound.
The Health and Quality of Life Impacts of Snoring
Snoring doesn't only annoy your partner and keep them awake; it also affects your health. Snoring can cause issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke[3]. To ensure a healthy sleep, it's crucial to take snoring seriously.
Invisalign: Can It Help You Breathe Easy and Stop Snoring?
Invisalign treatments, known for straightening teeth, could potentially aid in reducing snoring. When Invisalign aligns and levels your teeth, it might also widen the spacing between your top and bottom arches, creating more room in your airway for easier breathing[2].
How Invisalign Fights Snoring
Invisalign's clear aligners, - an alternative to traditional metal braces, gently move your teeth into the correct, functional positions over months of treatment. They're:
- Custom-made for your unique teeth
- BPA-free and blend in naturally with your smile
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Smooth, with no metal brackets or wires
- Comfortable without irritating your cheeks and gums
Are You an Ideal Candidate for Invisalign for Snoring Reduction?
If you snore regularly, weight has increased, or you struggle with daytime fatigue, Invisalign could potentially help alleviate your snoring[1]. Ideal candidates for anti-snoring Invisalign are those who:
- Suffer from mild to moderate sleep apnea
- Have overcrowded, crooked teeth
- Struggle with tongue thrusting
- Have narrow upper and lower jaws
- Experience daytime fatigue, headaches, concentration/memory issues
- Gained weight and snore more loudly

- Reduced snoring and vibrations
- Improved bite alignment
- A radiant, confident smile
