If you are looking for an effective anti snoring device, it is imperative you first understand what is available. In Ontario, you can find diverse products claiming to be effective in helping you. When considering your options, always remember it is not all devices may remedy your specific type of snoring.
Three Major Types of Anti-Snoring Devices
Snoring has several root and additional causes. To address them, companies have created a variety of tools. Among the most common devices are:
- Nasal dilators or nasal strips: These are most effective against nasal snoring. They act by widening the nostrils, therefore preventing you from mouth breathing. You insert the dilator inside the nostril. Alternatively, you can use a nasal strip, which you position on the exterior of your nose.
- Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD): Often referred to as snoring mouthpieces, they reduce simple snoring and the lower levels of sleep apnea by holding the lower jaw forward, therefore pushing the tongue slightly to the forefront. This allows the air to flow more freely.
- CPAP-Therapy and CPAP-Machine: This type of anti-snoring device involves the use of both a respirator and a breathing mask. A CPAP machine is for those with moderate to severe sleep apnoea. CPAP machines require a visit to a sleep apnoea specialist to obtain a subscription.
These three are the most common types available on the market in Ontario. Other common options are EPAP-Therapy, USA-Therapy, and Neti Pots.
