What are Anti-Snoring Plates or Splints?

Anti-snoring plates, also known as mandibular advancement devices, are appliances used to treat snoring and sleep apnea. These custom-fitted devices are worn in the mouth at night and help keep the airways open, facilitating airflow and reducing the vibration of soft tissues that causes snoring.

Anti-snoring plates work by a mechanism of mandibular advancement, that is, they position the jaw slightly forward. This helps to keep the throat open and prevents the tongue and other soft tissues from obstructing the airways during sleep.

Some of the benefits of using anti-snoring plates include:

Reduction of snoring: These devices are designed to reduce or eliminate snoring, allowing a more peaceful sleep for both the patient and their partner.
Improvement in sleep quality: By keeping the airways clear, anti-snoring plates can improve sleep quality by preventing frequent awakenings and lack of oxygenation during the night.
Relief of symptoms of mild to moderate sleep apnea: In cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea, anti-snoring plates can help reduce apnea episodes by keeping the airways open.
Comfort and ease of use: Anti-snoring plates are custom-made and adapt to the shape of the patient's mouth, providing a comfortable fit and preventing discomfort during sleep.

It is important to note that anti-snoring plates should be prescribed and fitted by a dentist specialized in sleep disorders. Additionally, regular follow-up is necessary to assess their effectiveness and make adjustments if necessary. If you experience persistent snoring or other sleep-related symptoms, it is advisable to consult a health professional for an appropriate diagnosis and to determine the most suitable treatment for your case.

How is an Anti-Snoring Plate Placed?

The procedure for placing an anti-snoring plate generally involves the following steps:

Evaluation and diagnosis: First, you must visit a dentist specialized in sleep disorders or a sleep medicine specialist for an evaluation of your condition. The professional will conduct a comprehensive examination of your mouth, jaw, and airways to determine if you are a suitable candidate for an anti-snoring plate.

Impression taking: Once it has been determined that an anti-snoring plate is appropriate for you, impressions of your mouth will be taken. This involves using a soft, malleable material placed in your mouth to obtain an exact replica of your teeth and gums. These impressions will be sent to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of the custom plate.

Fabrication of the plate: In the dental laboratory, the impressions taken will be used to create a custom-fitted anti-snoring plate that adapts to your teeth and jaw. This involves the use of durable and health-safe materials.

Adjustment and placement: Once the anti-snoring plate is ready, you must visit your dentist for its adjustment and placement. The dentist will ensure that the plate fits correctly to your teeth and jaw, and will provide instructions on how to properly insert and remove it.

Follow-up and adjustments: After the placement of the anti-snoring plate, you will likely need follow-up visits with your dentist to assess its effectiveness and make adjustments if necessary. This will ensure that the plate is working properly and providing you with maximum benefit.

It is important to follow your dentist's instructions on the use and care of the anti-snoring plate, such as cleaning it regularly and storing it properly. Additionally, it is advisable to undergo periodic reviews to check its condition and ensure it continues to be effective.

Remember, this procedure may vary depending on the type of anti-snoring plate and your dentist's specific recommendations. If you are considering using an anti-snoring plate,
