Snoring Treatment
Snoring may seem like a harmless annoyance, but it can signal deeper health issues.
Your snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea or airway problems if it is persistent and loud.
Ongoing snoring also disrupts your sleep and your partner’s. It can impact your energy levels, mood, and well-being, taking over your life.
At Planken Integrative Wellness, we ensure snoring doesn’t ruin your nights and days.
We work with you to find an effective snoring treatment tailored to your needs, helping you and your loved ones enjoy quiet nights again.
Why Treat Snoring?
Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat, making them vibrate. This produces the low, loud sound that snoring is known for.
Occasional snoring is nothing to worry about, but chronic snoring can lead to significant problems.
Left untreated, snoring can lead to ongoing fatigue, decreased cognitive function, and strained relationships because of disrupted sleep for you and your loved ones.
Dr Planken will build a treatment plan based on the diagnosis and all the information received from the test and her examinations.
At-home sleep tests offer several benefits compared to in-lab testing:
Heavy Snoring May Be a Sign of Sleep Apnea
Even more seriously, snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea.
This is a potentially dangerous or life-threatening disorder that is linked to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other problems.
Sleep apnea causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, leading to lowered oxygen levels and increased stress on the heart.
Treating snoring is important because it improves sleep quality and reduces the risk of developing severe health issues.
Additionally, addressing snoring can restore relationships, improve cognitive function, and give you more energy.

Personalized Snoring Treatment
We use custom-fitted oral devices to treat snoring.
These devices reposition the jaw and tongue to create more space in the airway during sleep.
The appliances are comfortable, portable, and effective, offering a great alternative to more invasive treatments.
Each appliance is built uniquely for your mouth, providing a natural fit that doesn’t feel bulky as you sleep.
This treatment is ideal for those looking for a non-invasive, easy option to reduce snoring significantly.
Airway expansion focuses on widening the upper airway to enhance airflow and reduce vibration that causes snoring.
This addresses structural issues in the throat, offering long-term relief from snoring.
Breathing becomes easier and more efficient by widening the airway, reducing obstructions.
Airway expansion is best for patients with narrow arches and underdeveloped jaws, offering long-lasting results that prevent breathing issues.
Nutrition and exercise can help reduce snoring.
We help you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to support better sleep and reduce snoring.
Some modifications may include weight management.
This helps reduce body fat around the airway, which can lead to more snoring.
Changing sleeping positions can also be helpful. We provide solutions to help make that transition.
We can also help you start a consistent sleep routine that promotes deeper sleep and reduces snoring.
Planken Integrative Wellness will guide you to the routine that best fits your lifestyle.
