Snoring happens when the soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes in sleep and vibrates as air squeezes past. In obstructive sleep apnea the airway narrows further or closes for a few seconds at a time, many times a night, so sleep keeps breaking even when you do not wake up.

A custom oral appliance, called a mandibular advancement device, is a thin pair of trays worn over the teeth at night. It holds the lower jaw slightly forward, which brings the tongue forward with it and keeps the airway more open. It is quiet, needs no power and fits in a pocket, so many people use it at home and on trips.

At The Smile Super Speciality Dental Clinic, in Kondapur, Hyderabad and in Vizag since 1997, a sleep appliance costs ₹25,000 to ₹60,000. We make it after a sleep study and work with your sleep doctor, who confirms how well it is working. You get the exact figure in a written plan after a ₹500 consultation.
