Problematic afflicts both men and women, young and old, large and small. Sharing a bed with a snorer can be tiring and extremely maddening. The snoring can seem like torture as you are stopped from getting to sleep. Often the over-the-counter remedies are not effective. Often the snorer is in a state of denial and won?t deal with the problem. In the end you may have to sleep in another room or on the settee. It?s no surprise that snoring so often leads to problems in a relationship and even divorce in some unfortunate cases.
Snoring is essentially a mechanical problem. The airway at the rear of the throat behind the tongue becomes smaller in some people when they sleep. This is due to an increase in fatty tissue, the effect of gravity when lying on your back, the loss of muscle tone, the relaxation of the muscles, the lower jaw and tongue dropping back, or any mixture of all these reasons. The reduced airway means the air travels faster through the airway when we breath, this causes the relaxed soft tissues in the throat to vibrate which results in the snoring noise.
The most well investigated and proven methods for controlling is essentially a physical solution. A mandibular advancement appliance is a oral device worn while asleep that gently holds the lower jaw and tongue forward in what is also called the ?recovery position?. The oral appliance typically looks like a sports guard and fits over the lower and upper teeth. Both parts are connected and this connecting mechanism will be used to hold the lower jaw a little forward.
By bringing the lower jaw forward the hyoid bone and tongue are brought forward as well. This maintains an open airway and is proven to be effective at stopping the snoring noise. Mandibular advancement splints can be bought online nonetheless it is recommended to get one made by a dentist that will fit your individual teeth and mouth.

The plastic makes them comparatively bulky and they all have to be replaced frequently as the plastic degrades and deforms after regular wear in the mouth.
