I have had the same problem (loud snory husband) for the longest time and have found that most of the products that say they will help with snoring are just a waste of money. Strangely he has stopped snoring recently and the only thing I can attribute it to is keeping the bedroom cleaner (from cat hair, dust mites, etc.) since much of my hubby's snoring seems to be allergen induced. But the strips, air and pillow sprays, fancy pillows, none of them have worked for us. :confused:

Evetually after losing way too much sleep I kicked him out of the bed! :p and now I sleep just fine ;)

I've done a few anti snoring appliances recently, just really to try them out. The 3 patients I have tried them on all reported a degree of success, some more than others. One was 'Cured' one had Great improvement, one had modest improvement.

They are quite expensive. I just charged my guinea pigs the fee from the technician for making them, which was £90. All of them took a good 45min of surgery time to construct, with the impression and the setting up at the fit stage. As I get better, I could see that coming down to 30 min, but that still means a total fee of about £175.

The devices always look really uncomfortable, which is why I've always stayed out of it. I feel that they work by stopping the patient from actually sleeping :rolleyes: However, the patients have reported that they are not to bad at all, and can be got used to with a little perseverence.

Snoring is not always a minor problem though. Sleep apnoea is something that can happen during snoring - the terms are not synonomous.

Sleep apnoea is where the snoring causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the blood, due to the airway obstruction. This can lead to an increased risk of strokes, heart disease and sleep related problems such as falling asleep while driving. Sleep apnoea occurs in about 10 - 15% of snorers (I think - that was a remembered stastistic from a course I attended a couple of years ago.) It needs to be sorted out if your snoring partner is a sleep apoenic.

Could be worth asking your dentist if he does appliances (If he's looking for patients to practice on, you may get a good deal like mine did!) or if not, if he could refer you anywhere. There is not a fee for providing them on the NHS through a dental practice which means it can only be done privately.

I don't know if sleep centres which are specialist centres in some hospitals provide dental appliances on the NHS, or, being doctors, they prefer to cut bits of you off, or connect you up to really fancy machines. But that's doctors for you :D
