Common Treatments

• Losing weight helps to reduce snoring problems, because weight loss relieves the pressure in the back of the throat, which reduces the snoring. Avoiding tobacco also contributes to snore treatment. Smoking impedes your respiratory level, so avoiding cigarettes in a progressive way can be very beneficial. Raising your head during sleep can facilitate breathing. Some airlines provide passengers with special pillows that help them keep their necks straight, thus helping them breathe better and avoid snoring.
  
  

Mouthpiece Devices

• There are plastic devices that the patient can introduce into their mouth during sleep. These devices help avoid the obstructions in the respiratory tract. A dentist can specifically prepare the mouthpiece device, but this is not the only way of acquiring one. There are several options for mouthpieces available in the market, which can be found either through specialty stores or websites.
  
  

Palatal Implants

• Patients can solve their snoring problem through the insertion of three small pieces of polyester material in the top palate. This treatment is affordable and is one of the most effective ways to treat this issue. Another advantage for this is that it has a low level of invasiveness, thus providing an effective remedy in a short time.
  
  

Surgery

• This kind of treatment should be sought as a last resort. By engaging in surgery, patients submit themselves to an invasive treatment, high costs and possibly uncomfortable side effects. This method alone must be applied only in case other ones have failed. Bear in mind that the success of the operation is not aways guaranteed, since this depends on the condition of every patient.
