Do you snore? Snoring is a common condition. In fact, as many as one in four people snore every night. While you may be relieved to know you’re not alone, knowing that others snore won’t put a stop to your habit. But at No1 The Orthodontic Specialists, we can.

Our Specialist Orthodontists aren’t just experienced in straightening teeth, they’re also experienced in the use of snoring appliances, which can help give you – and others – a good night’s sleep.

What causes snoring?

Snoring is the vibration of soft tissue caused by a partial blockage in your upper airway, which relaxes and narrows as we sleep. This can be exacerbated by a partial blockage anywhere from your nose to throat.

Most people associate snoring with having a rough night’s sleep, but snoring can have a more detrimental effect on your life. Your productivity can reduce, relationships can suffer and, even more seriously, you could suffer from the condition known as sleep apnoea.

What is sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea, also known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea or OSA, is a serious sleep condition where your breathing is either shortened or obstructed while sleeping. These pauses in breath typically last between 10-20 seconds and occur up to hundreds of times per night.

Sleep apnoea can lead to excessive tiredness during the day, and is linked to more severe complications like diabetes, heart disease and strokes.

Custom-made anti-snoring devices

Well now you can rest easy, because we have custom-made anti-snoring devices!

Our Mandibular Advancement Devices are placed into your mouth just before you go to sleep. They help to push your lower jaw forward, which extends your airways and prevents your tongue from blocking them, thus helping you and your loved ones get a quiet night’s sleep.

Benefits of anti-snoring devices

Mandibular Advancement Devices have been proven as an effective treatment method to stop snoring. The best thing about them is that you only need to wear them when you’re sleeping.

By using these devices, you can enjoy:

  • A quiet night’s sleep
  • More energy during the day
  • The feeling of waking up refreshed after a good night’s sleep
  • The reassurance that you’re not keeping others awake

You can also help to prevent more serious complications from your snoring in the future.

Get a specialist diagnosis

It is important to have an accurate diagnosis regarding your sleep concerns before embarking on treatment. We can undertake an assessment to determine how tired you are during the day and, if necessary, can refer you to a sleep physician for an overnight sleep study.

Mandibular Advancement Devices are very good at addressing snoring, but it is important to determine if you are also suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea as well.

Our Specialist Orthodontist, Dr Anne-Marie Smith, works with the Respiratory Physicians at the local hospital treating patients with OSA using a sleep splint. She has undertaken research in this area and won awards for her work, making her one of the leading orthodontists in this field.

It’s time for a good night’s sleep

If you’ve tried everything to stop snoring and get a good night’s sleep, it’s time to give the No1 team a call today.

From our specialists

A specialist interest in sleep and airway

Dr Anne-Marie Smith’s Master’s research was in obstructive sleep apnoea. She treats airway problems with mandibular advancement splints and, where the jaws themselves are the cause, with jaw (orthognathic) surgery planned with the maxillofacial surgeons she works alongside at the hospital — care she also provides privately at No1.

What happens when you come to see us

Book a free consultationMore about your first visit

  1. A chat first

    Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a chair. Before you come in we send a short video of the practice and an email explaining the day, so nothing is a surprise.

  2. Photographs and a full assessment

    We take photographs of your smile and bite, then carry out a full clinical assessment. Where needed we take X-rays or a digital scan with our iTero scanner — no messy moulds.

  3. Your options, explained honestly

    We break the findings down into options: the ideal plan, a compromise, or accepting your bite as it is. We talk to the patient, not just the parent, and guide the decision rather than make it for you.

  4. A written plan and a fixed price

    We then talk your bespoke treatment plan and all-inclusive quotation through with you, in person or virtually — appointments, emergencies, retainers and a year of follow-up included — and you have time to decide.

    Beatriz Porto No.1 orthodontist literally lifted up my confidence, they were very precise with how I wanted my teeth to look and they turned out absolutely amazing. The team is so caring and they make you feel so comfortable would definitely recommend to my family and friends if they ever need their teeth perfect.

  • Hester James6 weeks ago · Google

    My daughter had complex dental issues which meant first a removable brace when she was very young then fixed braces as a teen. Now 7 years later she's happy and confident with her teeth. Everyone at No1 was fantastic. During COVID she was still only 10 years old but their reassurance meant she happily went into her appointment without any parents. All the technicians are brilliant, I love the way all staff input is listened to regardless of their level. Makes for a great outcome for my daughter. Thank you so much.

    The girls at No.1 have been incredible throughout the entire process of my braces journey! I have been coming here for 2+ years & they have been amazing with every moment! I have had no complaints & problems whith No.1 at all, even when i had any slight issue with the brace itself, i went straight back to No.1 and they fixed it with no issue’s! I am incredibly grateful for the support that they have all given me & for making me love my smile again! thankyou so much girls!🫶🏻

    At 64 years old, I wondered if the 2 years plus aligner plan, was doable or worth it. I took the plunge and I am really pleased with the results. Anjli gave my a lot of information and time for me to make my decision and I found it an easy process to go through. No one ever noticed my clear aligners. Laura was my main contact who oversaw my treatment and she's really easy to ask any questions as you go through treatment, always felt I was in safe hands and is very positive in her approach to get the best outcome for you, so just do it 😀

    Had a wonderful experience for my 3 year braces journey with the Dental nurses all being friendly and easy going. Most importantly, my teeth problems have been fixed amazingly well.

  • Anthony Clarke4 months ago · Google

    I had a very positive experience with No. 1 Orthodontist in Mickleover. From my initial consultation onwards, the entire team was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The orthodontists took the time to explain the treatment process and answer all of my questions, making me feel informed and comfortable throughout my time as a patient. I chose Angel Aligners and was very impressed with the care, attention, and support I received from the team. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to complete my treatment. However, my experience with the practice was excellent from start to finish, and I was always treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I would happily recommend No. 1 Orthodontist to anyone considering orthodontic treatment and would like to thank the whole team for their outstanding service.
