What works and what doesn’t?
We speak to a large amount of people who have snoring difficulties. These people have tried many
treatments before trying SleepPro, and these are some of the common treatments which they have told
us do not work.
• Stop snoring tablets
• Aromatherapy
• Hypnosis
• Willpower training
• Wrist-devices, rings
• Devices that counteract the snoring noise
• Devices that flash a bright light when you snore
• Sports gum-shields or mouth-guards - these look like Mandibular Advancement Splints, but they
will not stop you snoring as they do not provide sufficient support behind the front teeth
(particularly the lower teeth) to hold the jaw forward. Furthermore, as the bulk of a sports gumshield
is at the front of the mouthpiece (to absorb and spread an impact), they can feel very
bulky and uncomfortable when worn for more than a couple of hours or overnight. Mandibular
Advancement Splints and sports gum shields are not the same things.
• Tongue retention devices have been reported as being too uncomfortable.
Other common methods which DON’T work:
• Sprays. People tell us that stop snoring sprays either do not work, or they only work for a short
time before the effects wear off (saliva washes away the spray). They are also expensive if you
need to keep buying more spray.
• Nasal strips make it easier to breathe through your nose, but they don’t stop you snoring. Don’t
be misled by claims to the contrary.
• Anything that forces you to breathe through your nose is useless when you have a cold, or
allergies that give you a blocked nose. They will make you feel like you physically cannot
breathe.
• Posture can play an important role in snoring, but is not a solution in itself. Click here for more

Treatments which DO work:
Scientific studies (and customer feedback) has proven that there’s only three ‘stop snoring’ treatments
that actually work for most snorers.
1). Mandibular (jaw) advancement deviceThese mouth-pieces bring your jaw forward
slightly, creating space between the airways and firming up the soft palate. This eliminates the cause of
snoring and stops snoring completely for many sufferers.
SleepPro 1 and SleepPro 2 are both Mandibular Advancement Devices.
2). CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure mask and air pump). This treatment uses a
face mask and pipe to pump air into your upper airway. This is a well documented solution which can
provide immediate relief from snoring.
However, this treatment can only be prescribed through a Doctor, and many people find it too bulky and
too much hassle. The CPAP . machine must be left on and the face mask must be worn every night with
the pipe attachment. Prices start from £400.
3). Surgery . This is another method which has varying levels of success depending on the cause of
the snoring. As with all surgery, there are risks associated with invasive procedures, and the overall
operation is (again, like most surgery) stressful and a lot of hassle.
Most procedures involve the shortening or the stiffening of the soft palate, also known as UPP or UP3.
Other methods include the reduction of the turbinate’s, correction of deviated septum’s and surgical
reduction of the tongue. Surgery can be the most effective long-term solution, depending on the cause
of your snoring.
