YOUR SNORING SOLVED

IS your snoring keeping your partner — or even the rest of the household — awake during the night?

Or worse, is it so bad that you’ve been relegated to another bedroom?

Snoring affects many Australians, with the Sleep Health Foundation reporting frequent, loud snoring is experienced by 24 per cent of men and 17 per cent of women.

Sometimes snoring can be a symptom of a bigger issue, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, but it is just as often due to ordinary factors that make the tongue relax and fall back into the airway during sleep.

When the tongue is in the way of normal breathing, the body tries to maintain normal air volume — which makes the throat vibrate and cause the snoring sound. However, there is a solution. Local business Snorex specialises in customising Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) — a mouthguard of sorts — that have proven over 80 per cent effective in eliminating snoring.

The team hand-make each MAS to fit each individual’s unique contours of teeth and jawline for maximum comfort. So what are you waiting for? Eliminate your snoring and sleep apnoea by visiting Snorex at The Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, 146 Mackenzie St, East Toowoomba, or visit their website www.snorex.com.au ,or simply call them on 3392 1642.
