Author: | May 12th 2018
Do you or your spouse snore? Snoring is the often loud or harsh sound that can occur as your sleep. As you fall asleep, muscles in your soft palate, throat and tongue relax. Snoring is then created when the flow of air as you breathe allows the tissues in the back of your throat vibrate. The sound most often occurs as you breathe in air, and it can come through the nose, mouth or a combination of the two. It can occur during any stage of sleep.
Unfortunately, snoring can cause real problems in a marriage; causing couples to sleep in separate rooms. Luckily there are snoring solutions to prevent snoring such as devices.

While there are a variety of anti-snoring devices to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right one for you. So how to choose, here are a few key characteristics you should consider:
●Type: MAD or TSD? If you are unfamiliar with these terms, MAD, or Mandibular Advancement Device, is the most popular type of snoring aid. MAD devices are the most popular ones because they are generally the devices that actually work. However, they are no means the most comfortable - as the name suggests, it changes the way you hold your jaw in your sleep.
It works by keeping your lower jaw in the forward position and prevents it from falling backwards. TRD (aka Tongue Retaining Device), on the other hand, is made of silicone of very soft plastic that does not involve jaw and teeth soreness and misalignment.
It has a bulb on one end, where you place the tip of your tongue; and when the bulb is squeezed and released, it creates suction, which then pulls the tongue forward, and of your mouth, and remains like that throughout the night.
●Material: Anti-snoring devices nowadays allow the ability to mold the main platform to fit your mouth. Depending on your preferences, figure out what material works best for you.
●Adjustable: Most anti-snoring devices allow you to easily adjust the mouthpiece to your likings. You also have an option to have custom-made anti-snoring devices that are fitted by dentists but with a high cost of $2000 or more.
●Price: If you are working with a specific budget, cost is certainly a huge factor. The typical range of mouthpieces can be anywhere $19.95 to $400 for the most expensive anti snoring mouthpiece.
If you are still unsure on what anti snoring device you should choose, consult with your family doctor, dentist or sleeping specialist to help to guide you to the right direction.
