Snoring Can Be Treated
You don't need to put up with snoring. There is a range of treatment options available to address the problem.
Possible treatment options may include:
- Conservative treatment e.g. weight management, smoking cessation, reduction in alcohol consumption
- Orofacial Myology exercises (facial muscle strengthening)
- Latest cutting-edge, non-ablative laser treatment - NightLase
- Oral appliances
- CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device
- ENT - Referral for possible surgical correction (if necessary)
There are a number of risk factors that impact the effectiveness of treatment and which therefore cause the treatments to be modified. They are:
- Obesity: BMI > 26 with increased fat distribution around neck and waist
- Altered body structures e.g. small lower or upper jaw, narrow upper dental arch
- Soft tissue changes e.g. large tonsils, large tongue, inflamed throat, enlarged uvula
- Alcohol consumption, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, thyroid disease
- Sleeping position e.g. back or stomach
