What causes snoring?
Snoring is often the result of obstructed airflow through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. This obstruction can be due to various common snoring factors including, but not limited to:
The anatomy of your mouth and sinuses (Learn more: Does a deviated septum cause snoring?)
Allergies
Colds
Sinus infections
When the flow of air is partially blocked, it causes the surrounding tissues to vibrate, leading to the sound of snoring.
Over time, chronic snoring can lead to more significant health concerns, such as sleep apnea, which affects not only the quality of your sleep but also your overall health. By addressing sinus issues with procedures like balloon sinuplasty, you can improve airflow and reduce or eliminate snoring, leading to better sleep and healthier living.

How to stop snoring with balloon sinuplasty
Millions worldwide suffer from chronic snoring, a condition often linked to sinus issues. Traditional treatments have involved invasive surgeries, imposing long recovery times and significant discomfort. However, the advent of balloon sinuplasty presents a minimally invasive alternative, offering hope to those seeking a less daunting solution.
This cutting-edge procedure is done in the office by Dr. Kaplan. It uses small, flexible balloons to gently expand sinus pathways, enhancing airflow and reducing snoring frequency and intensity. With a quick recovery period and minimal post-procedure discomfort, balloon sinuplasty stands out as a revolutionary step towards achieving restful sleep and improving overall health.
Locate Blocked Sinus Pathway
Dr. Kaplan locates the affected sinus area(s).
Clogged sinuses don’t drain properly, making it hard to breathe at night.
Insert + Inflate Balloon
Dr. Kaplan gently positions, inserts, and inflates the small balloon to reshape the sinus.
A small endoscopic balloon widens the affected sinus area, restoring drainage.
Drainage Restored
The balloon is carefully removed from the reshaped sinus area and proper drainage is restored.

Is snoring harmful to your health?
While snoring might seem like a harmless, albeit annoying, nighttime nuisance, it can be an indicator of underlying health issues including sinus infections. Chronic sinusitis symptoms can lead to persistent snoring due to the swelling of sinus passages, which limits airflow and promotes vibration of throat tissues.
This restricted airflow can exacerbate snoring and, if left unchecked, sinus infection and snoring symptoms can contribute to a cycle of poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue. Addressing sinus problems through treatments such as balloon sinuplasty can significantly alleviate snoring, enhancing both breathing patterns and overall well-being.
Will balloon sinuplasty help with snoring?
Balloon sinuplasty is emerging as an effective solution among snoring remedies for those suffering from sleep disturbances caused by sinus conditions. This minimally invasive procedure aims to open the sinus pathways, thus improving airflow and reducing the tissues' tendency to vibrate — the main cause behind the snoring sound.
Unlike more traditional snoring remedies that might only address the symptoms temporarily, balloon sinuplasty targets the root cause related to sinus issues, offering a long-term solution for sufferers. It's ideal for individuals looking for a less invasive option compared to traditional sinus surgery, providing a quicker recovery time and less postoperative discomfort, thereby enhancing the quality of sleep and life.
