What is the TheraSnore?

The TheraSnore is an oral appliance that is worn during sleep for the treatment for snoring an Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The TheraSnore is much like an athletic mouth guard, but with some of its own unique characteristics. The TheraSnore is fit in your doctor;s office in 30 minutes or less, and many people see positive results the first night. The TheraSnore appliance is 93% effective in the treatment of simple snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Simple snoring, in most cases, is caused because the amount of air going into the body is reduced. In some cases, this airflow reduction is caused when the tongue and soft palate fall back in the throat when lying down, thus blocking the airway. The body will then increase the airflow to compensate for the reduced amount of air. By increasing the airflow, the velocity of the air entering the body is increased, thereby causing some fine tissues at the base of the throat to vibrate. This increase in air velocity and the vibration of tissue, creates the snoring noise.

The TheraSnore is designed to prevent the tongue and soft palate from falling back and obstructing the airway. It's simple, you get more air, and you don't snore!

What makes the TheraSnore unique?

  • STOP SNORING NOW! The TheraSnore appliance can be worn and used the exact same day as the fitting. This is possible because the TheraSnore is fit in the doctor's office without the need of laboratories, models, or impressions.
  • The TheraSnore allows the mandible complete vertical and lateral freedom of movement to ensure you are comfortable wearing the appliance. This freedom of movement prevents any TMD/TMJ pain commonly associated with other oral appliances.
  • The TheraSnore appliance is easy to maintain and keep clean. With proper maintenance the TheraSnore should last 18-24 months and provide you with many snoreless nights. However, if you take good care of your appliance it can last much longer. To maintain the life of the appliance, we recommend only using a cold water cleaner called Ortho Fresh to keep the appliance clean and fresh. (You can place your order for Ortho Fresh by calling 1-800-477-6673)
  • The TheraSnore is available in two different variations for convenience and comfort.
    • The Original TheraSnore is a one-piece appliance that utilizes a greater vertical opening and sturdy design. Because of the design, the Original TheraSnore is what we recommend for patients who grind their teeth (brux). The Original TheraSnore is slightly smaller in design and may offer greater comfort for those sensitive to sleeping with an appliance.
    • The Adjustable TheraSnore is a two-piece appliance that can be adjusted in precise 1.5mm increments. Adjustments can be made in just seconds without the need to completely refit the appliance. The Adjustable TheraSnore is available in three different arch sizes for a more precise fit for your patients.
