How to stop snoring

We are a small group of British based qualified dental technicians who specialise in making and fitting anti-snore mouth piece devices that are designed to eliminate problem snoring. Through 35 years of experience operating in our own dental laboratory where we still practice today, we have come understand that snoring is no laughing matter and that it can really impact the quality of life for the snorer and those around them.

The Snorebond Ultra stop snoring snore guard

The Snorebond Ultra anti-snore device is an oral mouthpiece that is commonly referred to as a Mandibular Advancement Device or (MAD for short) which is specifically designed to prevent the contact of the soft throat tissues that are responsible for producing the vibrations that create the snoring sound. Crafted from heat activated hypoallergenic plastic, this simple yet highly effective device eliminates 89% of snoring problems through slightly advancing the position of the jaw whilst sleeping without compromising comfort. Research conducted by the British Orthodontic Society demonstrates that mandibular advancement devices are one of the very few clinically proven anti-snore treatments outside of resorting to surgical procedures.

However, it must be noted that every snore problem is different the same as every individual is different suggesting that anti-snore treatments must be tailored in order to suffieciently accomodate such differences.This is what inspired us to develop our unique 2 stage treatment system, through which we provide two different tyes of anti-snore mouthpiece which are all designed to optimise each snoring problem so that you will find the right type of mouthpiece that best suits you.The most beneficial feature of this type of stop snoring treatment is its cost effectiveness because unlike other anti-snore devices and anti-snore treatments, the Snorebond anti-snore device provides snorers with the opportunity to easily and inexpensively customise their mouthpiece so as to accommodate their individual snoring needs. Many people invest a great deal of time and money exploring different stop snoring solutions only to find that investing in a good quality protective mouth piece completely solves the problem.

The sound that we refer to as snoring is primarily caused by an obstruction of the air flow within the respiratory structures, namely the soft palette and other tissues in the mouth, nose and throat. When we sleep, the throat muscles and respiratory tissues become relaxed and flaccid causing the respiratory tissue to vibrate and produce the snoring sound.

There are many factors that may cause a person to develop a snoring problem, however most experts agree that the most common causes of snoring can be attributed to the following;

1.Age

Research demonstrates that age and snoring are positively related. In other words as we get older the probability of developing a snoring problem increases. This is because with age the muscles that support the respiratory structures weaken and become less toned, obstructing the airflow and producing the snoring sound.

2. Obesity

It is important to note that the muscles responsible for supporting the respiratory structures are essentially no different to other muscle groups that make up the body. Individuals whose body mass index exceeds their ideal calculated weight in accordance with the height, are more likely to have a higher percentage of body fat than those who do not exceed their recommended healthy weight. This results in the build up of fatty deposits throughout the body which has a detrimental effect on the performance of the muscle in terms of building and retaining muscle tone. This is also applicable to the respiratory muscles that are responsible for keeping the airways unobstructed during sleep.

3. Drinking alcohol, smoking and sedatives

All of the above can contribute towards the development of a snoring problem based on the premise that they act as muscle relaxants, reducing the effectiveness of the respiratory muscles that are responsible for ensuring that the airway remains unobstructed whilst we are sleeping. This is why many people who die through lethal drug overdoses that contain sedatives often "suffocate" in their sleep as a result of these muscles becoming so relaxed that they simply fail to perform their function.

It is also important to note that smoking tobacco also contributes towards the weakening of the throat muscles, therefore smokers and drinkers are significantly more likely to develop a snoring problem than those individuals who refrain from these activities.

4. Sleeping position

The position in which we sleep is also an important causal factor in the development of a snoring problem. We are most likely to develop a snoring problem if we sleep on our back as gravity pulls the respiratory muscles backwards, resulting in the narrowing of the airways which generates the vibrating sound of the snore.

There are many anti-snoring treatments avaliable on the market all promising to reduce or completely eliminate problem snoring. The effectiveness of anti-snoring treatments, however, is to a certain extent dependent on the nature of the snoring problem and therefore snorers must seek to identify and diagnose what type of snore problem they have.The vast majority of snorers are made aware of their snoring problem by their partner or other close family members as a result of the level of noise produced by the snorer.If you live alone, it is often more difficult to determine whether you have developed a snoring problem as there is no one around make you aware.

Measuring the problem

In order to measure the severity of the snoring problem, medics developed the Epworth test that is specifically designed to determine the level of impact that the snore problem has on the snorers everyday function, based on the observation that problem snoring has a negative impact on the snorers quality of sleep . It is the lack of good quality sleep that will cause the snorer to experience tiredness during the day and it is the level of tiredness experienced by the snorer that provides an indication of the severity of the problem. In a questionnaire format, the snorer is asked to answer a short series of questions that relates to everyday situations in which they experience mild to extreme tiredness. The more extreme the tiredness experienced by the snorer, the more severe the snoring problem.

There are also many other methods that determine the nature and severity of problem snoring which can easily be tried at home without having to seek consultation from medical professionals. The NHS online provides good quality informational resources that are designed to diagnose snore type and advise on the best possible approach to treatment.

The following list of statements represent the most common types of snoring that the majority of the snorers suffer from.

"I snore with my mouth open" Snoring through an open mouth is most likely to indicate that the snore problem is caused by the contact of the relaxed soft throat tissue, creating vibrations that produce the snore sound. This suggests that you may need to examine your diet and lifestyle habits as this type of snoring is most commonly diagnosed in snorers who are either obese, smoke cigarettes or take alcohol/sedatives before bedtime.

How can an anti-snore mouthpiece help? As the majority of snorers tend to be over weight, it is suggested that all snorers seek to make sensible, positive changes to their diets and take frequent exercise in order to obtain a healthy BMI. However, it must be noted that this may take some time which is not very useful if the snore problem has progressed to a point where it is seriously affecting you and those around you. It is therefore strongly recommendable that during this period wearing a mandibular advancement device will serve as a highly effective measure in terms of providing an instant anti-snore solution.

"I snore with my mouth closed" Snoring through a closed mouth is most likely to indicate that the snore problem is caused by the tongue slipping down the back of the throat as opposed to the vibrations of the soft throat tissues. During sleep our muscles become more relaxed, including the tongue, therefore if the mouth is closed, the airflow is directed through the nasal passages which are partially blocked by the relaxed tongue producing what we recognise as a nasal snore. Anti-snore treatments such as nasal stripes and dilators which are designed to expand the nasal passages in order to increase airflow are commonly used to treat this type of snoring problem.

How can an anti-snore mouthpiece help? Evidence does suggest that use of a mandibular advancement device as an anti-snore treatment can also help to reduce or completely eliminate the nasal snore as the advancement of the jaw also serves to prevent the tongue from slipping to the back of the throat responsible for restricting nasal airflow.

"I only snore when I sleep on my back" You are more likely to develop a snore problem if you sleep on your back due to the distribution of weight around the neck and throat. As a result of increased pressure upon the respiratory system, the soft throat tissues, especially the soft palette are more likely to come in to contact, blocking the airflow through the respirtory system and producing the snore sound.

How can anti-snore mouthpiece help? The most effective remedy for this type of snoring is to try and sleep in the foetal position in order to promote a more even distribution of pressure upon the respiratory system. However, problem snoring of this category can be significantly improved through wearing a mandibular advancement device as the advancement of the jaw will help keep the airways open eliviate some of the pressure created by the added weight upon these tissues. It is verty unlikely that you will retain the same sleeping positiont throughout the night so using an anti-snore mouthpiece such as Snorebond will serve as an extra protective measure.
