We all know what snoring is, but do you know why we snore. The main cause of snore is not that hard to understand. When we sleep, sometimes the breathing air passage gets blocked or narrower due to various reasons. When the air way gets narrower, we breathe swiftly and the soft tissues on our throat vibrate generating a noise which we call snoring.
Today, there are a lot of stop snoring products available in the market. Different variations are available intended to various reasons of snoring. Almost all the stop snoring products have a common purpose, which is to prevent the narrowing of the air passage. Below is a brief description of some stop snoring products.
You can use adjustable beds to stop snoring. These beds can help you to keep your head in a position that your mouth remains close. Mouth breathing is supposed to be the main cause of snoring for almost 85% snorer. You can also use anti snoring pillows, which have a design to encourage you to sleep on your side, a position where the mouth usually remains shut.
Next are the stop snoring appliances. These are used inside of the mouth. Usually works on the jaw or tongue or palate. Some of these work on all three parts of the mouth. When we sleep our lower jaw tends to get backward and as a result the tongue curls back inside and blocks a large portion of the air passage. These appliances are used to keep the jaw in a forward position and prevent the tongue from falling back. These are arguably not the most comfortable stop snoring products. Mouth piece, MAAs, palate lifter etc. are some examples of stop snoring appliance.
Sometimes snoring is caused by clogged nose and in that case a nasal valve dilator can be effective. Some people also uses nasal sprays to clear their nasal passage. But using sprays for a long time can be additive.
You can also use other devices which are used outside of your mouth like snoring strap, chin strap, nasal strap or mouth guard to stop snoring. These are usually used to keep the jaw intact by providing some obstructions. You can choose these if you feel uncomfortable with other appliances used inside of the mouth.
Surgery is also available for snore cure. But, the success rate from surgery is below 50% and there is a huge possibility of side effects after surgery. So surgery for snore cure might not be a good choice.
