Snoring
Breathe. Sleep. Thrive.
Snoring Solutions and Sleep Apnea Appliances
Loud snoring isn’t just disruptive—it can be a sign of something more serious, like sleep apnea. If you or your partner are missing out on restful sleep, we can help.
At Red Bank Smiles, we offer custom-fit oral appliances that reposition your jaw and open your airway to reduce snoring and improve oxygen flow. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, these small, comfortable devices are easy to wear and travel with—and often just as effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Better sleep means better health, sharper focus, and more energy for the people and moments that matter most. Let’s get you back to breathing easy at night—starting with a consultation.
When to Call Your Dentist ASAP
What Qualifies as a Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is more than just snoring—it’s a serious medical condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the soft tissues at the back of your throat relax too much, partially or fully blocking your airway.
You might qualify for a sleep apnea diagnosis if you experience:
✔ Loud, chronic snoring
✔ Gasping or choking sounds during sleep
✔ Excessive daytime fatigue or morning headaches
✔ Difficulty concentrating or mood changes
✔ A dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
A formal diagnosis usually requires a sleep study—either at home or in a lab. If you’ve been told you snore loudly, or you wake up feeling unrefreshed despite a full night’s sleep, it’s worth getting evaluated.
The good news? For many people with mild to moderate OSA, a custom oral appliance from Dr. Benjamin Klayman may be a comfortable, effective alternative to a CPAP machine.
What You Need to Know About Sleep Apnea
Not all snorers have sleep apnea, but loud, disruptive snoring—especially if it’s paired with gasping, pauses in breathing, or daytime fatigue—can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A sleep study is the best way to know for sure, and we can help guide you through that process.
Yes! Our dentist is trained in sleep apnea therapy can provide custom oral appliances that reposition your jaw to keep your airway open during sleep. These appliances are a great alternative to CPAP machines for patients with mild to moderate OSA—or for those who can’t tolerate CPAP.
CPAP machines use air pressure to keep your airway open, while dental appliances gently move your lower jaw forward to prevent airway collapse. Oral appliances are smaller, quieter, and easier to travel with—making them a popular choice for many patients.
Yes. Our appliances are custom-fit to your mouth for comfort and stability. Most patients adjust quickly and report improved sleep quality within the first few nights of use. Plus, they’re discreet and easy to care for.
