treatments that work, and don’t

Alternative Products are Generally Ineffective

Having spoken to a large number of people who are affected by the condition, we have built up a significant list of treatments that simply do not work.

These include tablets, aromatherapy, willpower training, hypnosis, wrist devices & rings, as well as devices that have been designed to counteract the noise made by snorers. A group of products that appears similar to the SleepPro is a sports gum shield or mouth guard. However, they cannot cure snoring problems they do not provide enough support behind the front teeth. Besides, they are very uncomfortable to wear overnight as the majority of the gum shield is at the front. A mandibular advancement splint and a sports gum shield may look similar, but in truth, they are completely separate products with different uses. One cannot replace the other.

Treatments that Do Work

According to both scientific studies and customer feedback, only three treatments have been proven to actually work for the majority of snorers.

First among them, the mandibular advancement device. It is a mouth piece that brings its wearers’ jaws forward slightly, thus creating space between the airways whilst firming up the soft palate.

The Continuous Positive Air Pressure Mask and Air Pump (also known as CPAP) is also known to be effective. Users wear a face mask and air is pumped into their upper airway, providing immediate relief to those who snore heavily.The main drawback with this treatment is that it can only be prescribed by a doctor. It is also very expensive and a hassle to use.

The final treatment that has been known to have positive results is surgery. This obviously entails some elements of risks and success rates vary depending on the cause of the problem. So think carefully before opting for the surgery route and give one of our SleepPro products a go first.
