WILL ALIGNERS HELP WITH MY SNORING?
WILL ALIGNERS HELP WITH MY SNORING?
EXPECTATIONS From DIGITAL ORTHODONTICS - Solo Edition by Dr. Bak Nguyen
Snoring is not related to how your teeth are aligned. Even if with aligners we can influence the positing of your teeth and, to a certain degree, the alignment of your jaws, it is too minor to either cause, worsen or treat snoring. Those are 2 completely separate issues.
Now, can you be treated with aligners while you are treated for sleep apnea? This will have to be discussed with both your attending, but from an orthodontic standpoint, it can be possible for as long as you are wearing your aligners under your sleep apnea medical appliances. You will still need to confirm with the sleep apnea expert and double confirm with your attending dentist.
