Can a snoring mouth guard of some description really be useful to help stop snoring? And what is the best stop snoring device?

Well, the answer to the first question is a definite yes. snoring and sleep apnea mouthpiece devices, which are often referred to as dental appliances are extremely effective to help peoples snoring problems. They are also particularly useful to sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea. They work by preventing all those soft throat tissues from collapsing as the body relaxes into sleep. The collapsing tissues actually obstruct the airway causing a snore.

Snoring Mouth Guards

These guards, sometimes called a mandibular advancement device or splint are small plastic devices that, when worn during sleep, cause your lower jaw to be in a slightly forward position and also by lifting the soft palate slightly. This prevents the throat from becoming blocked and reduces, or eliminates your snoring. They are extremely effective and fairly cheap too.

Dental Devices

Before we go on, I must tell you that there are two ways you can get  an anti snoring mouth guard fitted. One way, and more expensive, is to get a specialist dentist to construct and fit a tailor made dental device for you. Now that is going to cost you several hundred dollars, and for some people, this is the solution that they need. Bit for many, a snore guard that can be bought cheaply and easily from the internet will be just fine.

A dentist will make a mold of you mouth and teeth structure and get a one off stop snoring mouth guard made for you. Check out specialist dentists in your area if you think this is necessary.

If you are keen to try the very effective cheaper options first, then the web is a great place to source a device to stop snoring. These are fitted easily. Once only, you place the device in hot water for the prescribed period of time. Then you place it in your mouth and bite on it to allow it to mold to your features. They are then fairly comfortable to wear, and improve over time. Always follow the manufacturers instructions when fitting or using an anti snoring device.

So do they work ?

UK research has shown that, although the subject number was limited to a mere 25 heavy snorers, the use of a anti snoring device reduced snoring for 84% of the subjects, and 76% said they were snoring less nights of the week.

A Swiss study back in 2001 found that these devices were  effective in the treatment of sleep apnea and the side effects of wearing  such a device were limited to a little tooth discomfort and mucosal dryness in some subjects. Read the study details here.
