Snore Guards

Snoring often happens when the tongue and soft tissues relax and narrow the airway during sleep. A custom snore guard gently repositions the lower jaw to help keep the airway more open, which can reduce snoring for some patients. Dr. Adam Salm, DMD, evaluates your bite and airway to determine whether a snore guard is a reasonable option for you.

How Snore Guards Are Made

Rather than a one-size-fits-all device, your guard is fabricated to match your bite precisely.

Digital Impression Scanning — replaces messy molds with a digital scan, used to design a guard that fits your teeth accurately.
Chairside Night & Snore Guard Fabrication — custom guards are fitted directly to your bite for a comfortable, secure fit.

Is a Snore Guard Right for You?

Snore guards are typically considered by patients whose snoring is related to jaw or tongue position during sleep, rather than other medical causes. Dr. Salm can discuss whether your symptoms are a good match for this type of appliance, or whether another approach makes more sense.
