Are you a mouth breather? Are you also a snorer? These common issues are frequently related and your partner will in all probability spend large periods of night time going nuts listening to your snoring. Lack of sleep can be an issue for both snorers and partners, but a simple appliance called a snoring chin strap may assist.

Is there a Solution?

There are a array of devices that can help with snoring conditions. Anti Snoring Mouthpieces are placed in the mouth to prevent the airway clear, and check the vibration of soft tissues which leads to snoring. Another valuable device, that is far less invasive but might well cure your snoring is the Snoring Chin Strap. This is a very simple device which is worn over the head, with a cradle that sits under the jaw and holds the mouth closed at nighttime. Now, if you have a stuffy nose or structural problem, you need to get that resolved, and snoring mouth guards may be able to serve you better. But for a lot of people, mouth breathing has become a habit, and the chin strap for snoring can instantaneously resolve this condition by ensuring you breath through your nose at nighttime.

Yes, the chin strap might seem a little odd when worn, but the benefits greatly outweigh that minor disadvantage. You getting a good nights sleep without being continuously kicked is a genuine benefit. Your partner will value it too.

Wearing snoring chin straps can in fact give extra benefits that just a snoring treatment. It is possible that you might have Sleep Apnea which is a more serious condition in which ‘episodes’ of breath holding take place whilst asleep, the sleeper typically stops breathing for 10 seconds or longer. This problem can cause some more severe health concerns, and if you are worried about it, you really should make contact with your doctor and consider having a sleep assessment to verify the condition. The upside is that in many cases, it can be a learned condition which can be fixed.

The great benefit of chin straps for snoring is that they teach you even though you are asleep) to inhale through your nose. Mouth breathers often tend to get a narrowing of the airway, which causes the soft mouth and throat tissues to vibrate, creating a snore. The snoring chin strap will hold the mouth shut and the jaw in a position that helps in keeping that airway open.

If you wear the ‘stop snoring chin strap’ for a time, consider trying the odd night without it to see if you have unconsciously learnt to breath through your nose at night. A partner will be able to inform you. If not, keep using it and the time will come when it is no longer needed. I found it only took me a couple of weeks until I was converted from a mouth breather to a nose breather, and more significantly, from a snorer to a non-snorer.
