Not necessarily. Only a few people who snore have OSA, but most people who have OSA snore. When it comes down to it, there are symptoms you should look out for in addition to snoring. Sometimes snoring is just snoring. But when snoring is combined with daytime sleepiness, trouble concentrating, headaches, dry mouth, sore throats, and other common OSA symptoms then you should speak with a healthcare professional.
Due to the nature of oral appliance therapy, custom-made oral appliances can reposition the lower jaw and tongue which is helpful to people with sleep apnea and even those who snore but don’t have sleep apnea.
