Signs of Snoring: From Tension to Sleep Problems
Snoring during sleep is a common problem that can affect overall health and daytime attentiveness. Obstructive sleep apnoea affects 60% of men and 40% of women, harming not only relationship harmony but also the general health of the body.
Patients suffering from snoring often show signs of tension, stress, dark circles, and a dull complexion. During the consultation, a picture of sleep problems, teeth grinding, and snoring emerges, which can evolve into true nocturnal apnoea. Modern lifestyles, with frenetic rhythms and poor eating habits, can contribute to the onset of these sleep disorders.
Snoring and Apnoea: The Complexity of Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea manifests as a loud and disruptive sound produced during sleep, often accompanied by apnoea. This bothersome noise is generated when the air emitted from the throat and nose cannot find an adequate passage, causing vibrations and tension in the soft tissues. Occasional snoring may be caused by a heavy dinner, excessive alcohol consumption, or smoking. However, when the problem becomes recurrent, the quality of sleep decreases drastically, leading to risks for psychological and physical health.
Health Implications: Snoring, Apnoea, and Accidents
Scientific literature correlates snoring and sleep apnoea with road and workplace accidents. Difficult breathing during sleep prevents the brain from reaching the deep sleep phase, putting nighttime rest at risk. This can lead to fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and an increased risk of accidents during the day.

Treatments to Stop Snoring and Improve Sleep Quality
The first crucial step is to make positive lifestyle changes by adopting a healthy diet, having light evening meals, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, in the presence of unfavourable facial anatomies, it may be necessary to intervene specifically.
Solution: Increase the Volume of the Airways with a MAD Device
A modern mandibular advancement device (MAD), designed by an expert dentist specialising in sleep respiratory disorders, can be the key to stopping snoring. The MAD is a custom dental device that, by gradually positioning the jaw in a position favourable to the patency of the airways, increases the muscle tone of the airways, facilitates airflow, and eliminates snoring. Comfortable, easy to wear, and effective, the MAD significantly improves quality of life, offering a valid alternative to CPAP for less severe disorders and complementing the action of CPAP for more severe disorders.
