Hundreds of millions of people around the globe snore nearly every night. There is no need for you to feel alone in your quest to find cheap tricks to stop snoring. For some people, snoring is a symptom of a more serious issue. You should see a doctor if you have a snoring problem. However, if it is just normal snoring that ails you, the good news is that there are some stop snoring devices that work for many people.
It is not uncommon to see stop snoring products advertised on television or at storefront displays. You would expect this for such a widespread problem. You should look at each of these with skepticism, as they are often just ploys to make a quick buck off a new gimmick.
Before you waste time trying anything more complex, you might want to try putting a chin pillow under your chin to raise your chin up at night. This can help open up the airway. If this stops the snoring, you'll have to try it for a few days and see if you are left with any neck pains.
If that didn't work out so well, there is still hope. Some mouthpieces have been developed that do an excellent job of helping many people stop snoring. These dental gadgets based on mandibular advancement have been reported to be very effective, and scientifically designed and studied. Your doctor may be able to refer you to a dentist who can make a custom mouthpiece to help you stop snoring. You may be able to get this device at little or nothing out of your pocket. You will need to check with your insurance company to see if you are covered.
If the mouthpiece doesn't help you stop snoring, your options for scientifically proven ways to stop snoring are dwindling. You may need to consult with your doctor about stop snoring therapies. For many people, some therapy will tighten up the muscles in the mouth and throat and solve the problem.
If that doesn't work, you may be left with surgery. The good news is that most of these surgeries are quick and simple outpatient clinic procedures. For those with good insurance, you may just want to start with surgery if it is recommended by your doctor. You will need to see your doctor anyway to rule out any serious health reasons for your snoring condition.
