Are
there any appliances I can buy to treat my snoring?
A variety of oral appliances are
available to treat snoring. These plastic devices are placed inside the mouth.
The aim of these devices is to bring the jaw forward, which allows the airways
to open up and prevent obstruction-thus, snoring does not develop. These
devices are not very effective, are difficult to get used to and are also
relatively expensive. They only work in some people with misaligned jaws. Most
people simply cannot tolerate a device inside the mouth all night. Can you just
imagine sleeping with a large “dildo” like device in your mouth? The devices
are fitted by dentists and the costs can be prohibitive.
I definitely do not recommend any oral
appliance because there is ZERO evidence that works. Many dentists, like car
mechanics, are not ethically sound and will sell you all sorts of craps or
remove teeth unnecessarily- so beware.
