ApproachDiagnosis matters
ComfortSeries required
Follow-throughNot a cure for apnea

Snoring treatment starts by ruling out sleep apnea.

NightLase may be considered for selected snoring patients after appropriate airway and sleep evaluation.

It must not replace medical diagnosis or proven sleep-apnea therapy. Results and duration vary, and maintenance may be needed.

The details that shape the right plan.

01

Primary snoring

A common goal for this treatment.

02

Oral tissue laxity

Anatomy determines whether treatment fits.

03

Sleep study complete

The degree of change guides planning.

04

CPAP not addressed here

A conservative approach protects balance.

05

Partner concern

Health history can affect candidacy.

06

Maintenance need

Maintenance is part of the decision.

Timing

Breathing pauses need medical evaluation first.

Witnessed apnea, severe sleepiness, or cardiovascular risk requires medical assessment before elective snoring treatment.

Precise care. Clear reasoning. No shortcuts.

01

Whole-face planning

Proportion, movement, and natural expression guide the recommendation.

02

Conservative settings

Treatment is selected and delivered around your anatomy.

03

Realistic follow-through

Expected response, maintenance, and alternatives are explained clearly.
