Snoring - The Orange Room

Mona Lisa

Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea on how to stop a person from snoring?

Are there ways that actually work?

Your input is greatly appreciated on the subject.

mmmm well it could be a couple things. I know that wait loss will reduce snoring if the person is over weight. Or another case i know about is Sleep Apnea (which can get very severe) and there is something called a

machine for that and it allows the person to sleep peacfully and anyone who is sleep with him/her will sleep much much more peacfully. But if it is Sleep Apnea the person should definetely go run some tests at the doctor to see how bad it is and if surgery is necessary.

good luck:)

Snoring? A curse for the one who has to share your room lol. When my dad goes through snoring stages, my mother goes to bed early to make sure she sleeps before he starts snoring otherwise she'd have to stay up all night

.

There are special mouth guards lol (i don't know what they call them) that you wear to stop snoring. My infamous snoring uncle has one. After destroying his wife's ears and making her have the worst type of migraine; it finally worked.

Can you Please give me name of that gear or whatever that worked. You can PM me as so not say that you advertising or anything. But if it worked with your uncle, so most probably it will work for hubby. Like your mother if I am unlucky and he is first to sleep I am up all night. And as you can see I am not so happy about. So Dear Dalzi any information concerning what your uncle used is of great great help .

We have it here in Australia, i don't know if you can get one in Lebanon... It truly worked with my uncle. His snoring is very bad and he stops breathing. If you hear him you'd think he's dying! I found something about it on the internet :D...

How a Snore Mouth Guard Works, and Where to Get One!

A mandibular sleeping device is more commonly called a snore mouth guard and is something that is made by a dentist to help prevent snoring in a patient. They are made when the dentist takes a mold or case of a patient's mouth and then makes a device that is custom fitted just to him or her, so they are not available in your pharmacy or drug store. But how does this snore mouth guard work, and can you get one from just any dentist?

Sometimes snoring is caused by the tongue falling into the back of the throat when one is sleeping. This might be because the tongue is just a bit large for the mouth which is something that occurs naturally in some people, or may be because of how a person sleeps. A snore mouth guard prevents this from happening. When you sleep on your back your jaw naturally drops down and your tongue then relaxes. This typically happens for people whose lower jaw is a bit smaller than their upper jaw; if you have an overbite this might be a sign that you're more prone to this type of thing happening when you sleep. A snore mouth guard forces the lower jaw forward just a bit so that it's less likely to fall open and the tongue is less likely to fall back.

While this sounds very uncomfortable and even a bit painful, many who use a snore mouth guard report that they get used to it very quickly. Because a dentist fits it just for you by taking a mold or cast of your jaw, it is not going to move around or fit uncomfortably. They are also usually very lightweight. And they work by very carefully pushing your jaw forward; they are not like the old retainer systems that some children needed to wear with their braces where your entire head is thrust into a new position. After all, what's the point of using a snore mouth guard to keep you from snoring if it then keeps you awake all night because it's so uncomfortable to wear?

Most snore mouth guards look much like the mouthpieces that athletes wear in a boxing arena or for other occasions. They need to be cared for properly so that they don't bend or get broken, and of course they cannot be shared by anyone since they are fitted personally for you.

Most dentists are able to create a snore mouth guard if you ask them for such. However, expect them to give you a thorough mouth exam to be sure that your lower jaw is really what is causing your snoring. It's easy to think that it's your tongue that is blocking the airway in the back of your throat but in reality it is excess tissue on your soft palate. The soft palate is the area on the roof of your mouth in the back, just above your throat. When there is excessive tissue in this area it too can cut off that airway. In a case such as this a snore mouth guard will have little effectiveness. However, your dentist can help you by performing a minor procedure that cuts away some of this excessive tissue in order to clear up the airway. This procedure is minor and relatively painless, and these days it is usually done with a laser that eliminates much of the bleeding and cuts down on the recovery time. If a snore mouth guard can't help with your snoring problem, your dentist can probably recommend this or other options for you.
