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.

You know the little gadget that you strap on to your wrist and it gives little electronics pulses that doesn’t disturb your sleep but keeps you from snoring. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

It depends on the cause of the snoring. It can be a malformed nasal passage or adenoids or inflamed sinus or a simple relaxation of the throat. These are not alll the possibilities. It is best to go to an eyes, ears, and throat doctor for a recommendation.

The way most anti-snoring sprays work is to reduce inflammation in the sinus or the throat. So as you can see, it depends on the exact cause of the snoring whether or not it will work.
