How To Stop Snoring Instantly

Wear An Oral Appliance

Oral appliances that prevent snoring work by keeping the individual's jaw in a good position. This keeps the back of their throat from closing up, which as we have discussed, is what causes snoring. Oral appliances to help with this look something like sports mouth guards and are available online and from dentists. Patients are generally recommended to see a dentist for one first, because they may decide a custom device is necessary. Otherwise, individuals should look for a commercially available oral appliance described as 'boil and bite.' These guards mold to the individual's mouth for comfort and greater effectiveness. Patients will have to wear an oral appliance every night because they do not permanently fix anything and are only effective when in use.

Wear Nasal Strips

Nasal strips are helpful for snoring caused by an obstruction in the nasal airway, like a deviated septum or chronic nasal congestion. Many snorers like to wear nasal strips because they're relatively unobtrusive. They are essentially small self-adhesive splints that stick to the nose. Their spring action pulls outward a little on nostrils, giving patients a clear flow of air through the nose when they inhale. There is less chance of snoring when there is good airflow. Individuals can get them over the counter at any pharmacy for just a few dollars, so this may be one of the first things they want to try. Many nasal strips contain latex, so be sure to check labels carefully if allergies are a concern.
