Snoring is a common problem that plagues a large part of the adult population in the country. You might feel uncomfortable or embarrassed if you are known to snore loudly, but you should know that this process is often natural. Usually, men snore more than women on a regular basis. There is no specific treatment for snoring, but there are certain devices available in the market that can help partially manage snoring.

These anti-snoring devices can suppress snoring in either of the two ways- by pushing the tongue backward or moving the tongue forward. Moreover, these devices do not require any prescription from any doctor. Let’s have a closer look at what causes snoring and how these anti-snoring devices actually perform.

What causes snoring?
The restriction or obstruction in the pathway of the upper airway typically causes a tickling sensation in the back of the throat which results in a typical harsh and loud breathing, described as snoring. Several factors are responsible for snoring. One of them is obesity, which is fairly common in certain adults. Sometimes, throat related allergies due to cold and other biological factors are also responsible for loud snoring.

One of the main causes of snoring is ‘Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA)’ which is the most common type of ‘sleep apnea’ disorder associated with the sudden and temporary loss of breath during sleep. The partial obstructions in the airflow hinder the breathing process resulting in the development of loud and harsh noise during sleeping. Another type of ‘sleep apnea’ disorder is known as ‘Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) which occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that are responsible for proper breathing, resulting in snoring. Sleep apnea is considered to be a serious condition as it increases the rate of heart diseases, diabetes, and even stroke.

Best stop-snoring devices that are effective
Anti-snoring mouthpieces and mouthguards can be very effective in treating CSA and OSA apart from CPAP and BiPAP machines which are expensive and complex to use. These anti-snoring devices reduce snoring sounds by separating the soft and vibrating tissues in the mouth and throat that are responsible for creating those loud sounds, by creating physical barriers. Read on to know about the three best stop-snoring devices that can effectively help you to get good sleep without snoring.
