Snoring Treatment
That Prioritizes Peaceful Sleep

Snoring may be common, but it’s not always harmless. 

At Refreshed Sleep, we understand how disruptive it can be, both for the person snoring and the loved ones trying to rest nearby. 

While occasional snoring is normal, persistent or loud snoring may be the body’s way of signaling an airway that’s struggling to stay open. 

You don’t have to ignore it, and you certainly don’t have to figure it out alone. 

Refreshed Sleep offers personalized, non-invasive care designed to help you breathe better, sleep more deeply, and wake up truly rested.

When Snoring Signals Something More

It’s Not Just Noise, It’s a Breathing Issue

It’s easy to brush off snoring as a quirky bedtime habit. 

However, it may be a sign that your airway is narrowing or partially collapsing during sleep when the sound becomes a daily occurrence, especially if it’s loud, disruptive, or tied to other symptoms. 

At Refreshed Sleep, we approach snoring not with alarm, but with insight and intention. 

We recognize it as one of the most common early signs of disrupted breathing, and potentially undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.

Snoring typically happens when airflow is partially blocked, causing soft tissues in the throat or nose to vibrate. While this may seem minor on the surface, blocked airflow can fragment your sleep and prevent you from reaching deep, restorative stages. 

You might not realize how much it’s affecting you until fatigue, brain fog, or irritability start becoming daily companions, even after a full night in bed.

Snoring is more than a noise issue. It’s a sleep quality issue. And it’s one we’re here to address with clarity and care. 

Whether your snoring is primary or part of a deeper issue, our goal is to help you breathe freely again, without the guesswork, pressure, or complexity that often comes with traditional sleep care.

Why Do We Snore in the First Place?

Understanding the Root Cause

Snoring starts when air struggles to move freely through your airway during sleep. 

As airflow becomes partially obstructed, it forces soft tissues in the throat, soft palate, or nose to vibrate, creating the sound we associate with snoring. 

The sound is just the surface. What matters more is why the airflow is restricted in the first place.

At Refreshed Sleep, we look beyond the sound to explore the structural and muscular patterns contributing to it. 

Many factors can narrow or collapse the airway at night, and our role is to help identify the unique combination affecting you.

Common Contributors to Snoring Include

  • Low muscle tone in the tongue or throat allows soft tissues to collapse
  • Sleeping on your back, which increases gravitational pressure on the airway
  • Jaw alignment or bite structure that reduces the upper airway space
  • Poor tongue posture or tongue-tie that limits proper airway support
  • Enlarged soft tissues such as the tonsils or uvula
  • Nasal blockages or congestion that force mouth breathing

Snoring isn’t always caused by one single issue. That’s why your care at Refreshed Sleep begins with a detailed assessment of your airway, breathing habits, and lifestyle. 

We offer treatment that feels intuitive, comfortable, and truly effective by understanding the root cause.

Could It Be Sleep Apnea?

When Snoring Doesn’t Stand Alone

Not all snoring is created equal. 

For some, it’s an occasional sound with little consequence. For others, it’s the body’s first signal that something more serious is happening beneath the surface—obstructive sleep apnea.

Primary snoring occurs when airway vibration causes noise, but breathing continues unimpeded. 

In contrast, sleep apnea involves partial or complete airway blockages that briefly interrupt breathing altogether, sometimes dozens or even hundreds of times per night. 

These pauses can trigger stress responses in the body, lower oxygen levels, and fragmented sleep, often without the person being aware that it’s happening.

You don’t need to self-diagnose or panic, but it may be worth a closer look if your snoring is paired with other symptoms. 

Many patients come to Refreshed Sleep unsure if their snoring is “just snoring,” and we help them find that clarity through calm, step-by-step care.

Signs That Snoring May Be Linked to Sleep Apnea

  • Gasping, choking, or irregular breathing during sleep, often noticed by a partner
  • Waking up with a headache, sore throat, or dry mouth
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness or morning grogginess
  • Trouble concentrating, low energy, or irritability
  • Frequent nighttime awakenings or restless sleep

We’re here to help you figure out what’s really going on, and what to do about it, even if your symptoms feel subtle.

Getting Answers Starts at Home

At-Home Sleep Testing for Peace of Mind

At Refreshed Sleep, you don’t have to visit a sleep lab to understand your snoring. 

We believe answers should be accessible and stress-free, which is why we coordinate discreet at-home sleep testing using an online third party testing provider.

These devices are compact, easy to use, and designed for real life. 

You simply wear the monitor overnight in your own bed with no wires, machines, or disruption to your routine. 

The device tracks key metrics while you sleep to provide a clear picture of your nighttime airflow, such as oxygen levels, pulse rate, and breathing patterns.

Once your data is collected, it’s reviewed directly by a sleep physician.

Her review helps determine whether your snoring is primary or connected to sleep apnea, and she’ll walk you through the results in a way that’s easy to understand and free of pressure.

This is not about finding something wrong—it’s about uncovering the root of your snoring and guiding you toward restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Personalized Care That Works While You Sleep

No two airways are alike, and your care shouldn’t be either. 

At Refreshed Sleep, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all snoring solutions. Every plan begins with a deep understanding of your anatomy, sleep symptoms, and long-term goals. 

Dr. Brenna McLain works one-on-one with you to identify the primary cause of your snoring and guide you toward treatment options that are comfortable, effective, and easy to stick with.

This means oral appliance therapy for many. But for others, snoring may be tied to tongue posture, muscle tone, nasal congestion, or sleep position. 

That’s why your care plan may also include:

  • Myofunctional therapy to strengthen airway muscles
  • Sleep position coaching to encourage side-sleeping
  • Nasal breathing support or congestion relief
  • Lifestyle changes like reducing alcohol before bed

Everything we recommend is tailored to you, not a generic fix. We take time to walk you through each option and adjust as needed so your plan truly supports your sleep and quality of life.

How Oral Appliances Work While You Sleep

Oral appliance therapy is one of the most effective and comfortable ways to treat snoring, especially when it’s caused by airway obstruction or soft tissue collapse. 

These small, custom-made devices are worn during sleep and gently reposition your jaw or support your tongue to help keep your airway open.

Your appliance is designed just for you, unlike bulky machines or over-the-counter gadgets. 

Using scan data and sleep test results, Dr. Brenna selects and fits a device that supports your unique airway structure and bite. 

The result? A treatment that’s:

  • Quiet: No motors, masks, or tubing
  • Comfortable: Light and customized to your bite
  • Portable: Ideal for home, travel, or sharing a room
  • Low-Maintenance: No setup or nightly hassle

Most patients feel a noticeable difference within days of consistent use. 

You’ll feel confident and cared for from fitting to follow-up because we guide every step, and not a rotating team of providers.

At Refreshed Sleep, we don’t believe in guesswork. We believe in smart, gentle solutions that help you wake up rested, night after night.

What to Expect When You Get Started

Clear Steps. No Pressure. Real Results

  • Free Consultation: We begin with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to understand your sleep concerns and determine if a deeper look is needed

You don’t need a diagnosis to start. Just curiosity and a desire for better sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snoring

What if I Don’t Have Sleep Apnea?

You can still benefit from treatment. Primary snoring, which is snoring not caused by sleep apnea, can still disrupt sleep, irritate your partner, and impact daily energy. We offer gentle solutions that address both types.

How Soon Will I See Results?

There's a noticeable difference within the first few nights of using their oral appliance for many patients. Because the goal is physical airway support, the results are often immediate, especially when combined with small habit shifts.

Will I Need To Use This Forever?

Some patients use oral appliances long-term for ongoing support, while others gradually phase into maintenance strategies, such as myofunctional therapy. We’ll work with your goals and preferences at every stage.

What if I’ve Tried Other Snoring Solutions Before?

That’s okay. If sprays, nose strips, or devices haven’t worked, it’s likely because they didn’t address the root cause. Our approach is grounded in science and built around your anatomy, not generic fixes.
