The good news!
There are solutions.
A few individuals that snore have had success
with Breathe Right Nasal Strips or throat sprays but most
persistent snorers have not.
A more consistently successful remedy is a sleep
mouthpiece. It
fits in the mouth over the upper and lower teeth during
sleep. It
looks a lot like two thin mouth guards connected together.
The secret of the sleep
appliance is that it holds the jaw in a forward position
while sleeping. This
position helps open the airway and keeps the tongue from
falling back against the palate and throat.
And just like magic, you stop snoring.
Some individuals with severe forms of
sleep apnea may need a breathing machine called a CPAP.
Surgery may also be an option but a majority of
snoring problems can be corrected with just a mouthpiece.
CPAP with hoses and plugs, surgery on the palate
and throat, or a simple mouthpiece?
A mouthpiece sounds like the best choice, doesn’t
it?
