Snoring

Why do I snore?

You snore when something blocks the flow of air through your mouth and nose. The resulting sound is caused by the vibration of respiratory structures (usually the uvula and soft palate), due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. If you desire treatment for snoring, Dr. Gordon may prescribe an oral appliance to wear while you sleep. Silent Nite™ is one of the appliances she prescribes.
