Hello,

Here is a little info on different types of stop snoring mouthpieces, and other options;


Mandibular Displacement Appliances. These can consist of two plastic trays (some are hard, some are soft) custom molded by dentists to the patient's maxillary and mandibular teeth. Elastic straps attach the trays and pull the mandible forward, opening the airway. They are clinically proven to reduce snoring, but require custom fitting by a sleep specialist, and can be associated with serious side effects, including muscle/jaw pain and permanent shifts in jaw alignment/bite. Mandibular appliances are not 100% effective -patients can pay $ 1500 - 3000 for a custom device.


We have an alternative type of mouthpiece, or oral device. The Good Morning Snore Solution fits comfortably between the lips and teeth. Squeezing the end of the device will create suction, comfortably pulling the tongue forward and away from the back of the throat resulting in an open air passage, improved breathing and reducing or eliminating snoring and sleep apnea. The cost is around $ 100.


Other options to remedy snoring include:


Surgery; usually considered the option of last resort, and for good reason, as it carries significant risks and has a high rate of failure or relapse.

CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is the standard of care for OSA, as it is 100% effective when in use, however compliance is very low due to the intrusiveness of the apparatus. People often abandon CPAP and may turn to custom-fitted appliance such as mandibular displacement appliances, but many go untreated due poor alternative treatment options.

There are numerous over-the-counter anti-snoring products such as nasal sprays and nose strips, which are less expensive and more convenient, however, there is little to no clinical data to support that these products work.



Again, it's important to note that different solutions will work better for some than others. If you plan on trying out any of the devices, patience and tenacity are a virtue.
