Question by a’siangirl: Has anyone found an anti-snoring method/device that really works?
My husband snores, a lot… He is a mouth breather, which causes more snoring, when he rolls onto his back it is the worst. He doesn’t just stop breathing like with apnea, but sometimes his tongue falls back in his throat cutting off his breathing momentarily, so he adjusts, and then is soon snoring again! We’ve tried the sprays, mouth rinse, breathing strips, humidifiers, herbs, everything affordable. I don’t want to invest -0+ into a device and then have it not work. Any advice?

Go to your dentist and ask about a mandibular advancement splint. Basically what it does is place the mandible (bottom jaw) foward therefore opening that area of the throat which causes snoring. Working in a dental lab, I’ve made basic ones which are formed to your teeth like high end mouth guards which require an impression of your bite from your dentist and those run around 50$. I’ve also made ones that are a thousand times more complex that run in the thousands of dollars. CPAP machines also work, if he gets headaches in the mornings or gets tired easily during the day then more than likely his snoring is more along the lines of sleep apnea. CPAP machines work by maintaining a constant flow of air through your airway so the fleshy flap that causes snoring can’t move freely thus no more snoring and much more oxygen into your lungs so you enter a deeper sleep stage therefore are more rested.
