Snore Guards in Plano, TX
Breathe Better, Sleep Deeper, Live Healthier
If snoring is disrupting your sleep—or someone else’s—it may be more than just an annoyance. Chronic snoring can be a sign of airway obstruction or sleep-disordered breathing. At All Day Smiles Dental, we offer custom-fit snore guards that help open your airway, reduce snoring, and improve sleep quality without bulky machines or invasive treatments. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea or simply want to stop snoring, a dental solution might be exactly what you need for a better night’s rest.
What Is a Snore Guard?
A snore guard is a custom oral appliance that gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This reduces the vibration of soft tissues in the throat—what causes the sound of snoring—and promotes more restful breathing.
Snore guards are small, portable, and easy to wear, making them a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.
How Snore Guards Help
Snoring can lead to more than just restless nights. It’s often linked to interrupted breathing, daytime fatigue, and even long-term health risks when left unmanaged. A snore guard can help:
- Minimize or eliminate snoring sounds
- Improve oxygen intake during sleep
- Decrease morning headaches and dry mouth
- Enhance sleep quality for both the patient and their partner
- Support treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Dr. Sweeta Walia and Dr. Steffanie Lien take a personalized approach to treating snoring, evaluating your airway health, bite, and sleep symptoms to determine if an oral appliance is the right solution.
Who Can Benefit from a Snore Guard?
You may be a candidate for a snore guard if you:
- Snore regularly, especially when sleeping on your back
- Wake up feeling unrested despite a full night of sleep
- Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea
- Cannot tolerate or are non-compliant with CPAP therapy
- Experience dry mouth, sore throat, or fatigue in the morning
- Have a partner who reports frequent, loud snoring
We also coordinate with sleep specialists if a sleep study or additional diagnostics are needed to confirm the severity of your condition.
The Custom Appliance Process
- Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive exam and screening for airway issues. If appropriate, we recommend a custom snore guard tailored to your needs. - Impressions or Scans
We take precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth to design an appliance that fits securely and comfortably. - Fitting & Adjustment
When your snore guard is ready, we ensure proper fit and comfort. Minor adjustments may be made for optimal jaw positioning and airflow. - Follow-Up
We schedule periodic check-ins to assess effectiveness, monitor wear, and make any necessary refinements.
Improve Sleep with Dental Support
Our snore guard service is part of a broader commitment to your overall wellness. For patients who also struggle with clenching, bruxism treatment can be combined with an appliance designed to manage both conditions. And for those experiencing dental anxiety, sedation dentistry ensures your visit is calm and stress-free.

Are snore guards the same as nightguards?
Not exactly. While both are worn during sleep, snore guards reposition the jaw to aid airflow, while nightguards protect teeth from grinding. Some appliances are designed to address both issues when needed.
Do snore guards treat sleep apnea?
Snore guards can be effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, especially for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP machines. A sleep study may be recommended to evaluate your condition.
Is the appliance comfortable?
Yes. Unlike bulky store-bought options, our custom snore guards are designed to fit your mouth precisely, making them easier to wear all night.
Will insurance cover it?
Some medical or dental insurance plans may offer partial coverage for snore guards if used to treat sleep apnea. Our front desk team can help you navigate your benefits.
