Do anti-snoring devices work?

There are many anti-snoring devices available, and many people find them effective. You may need to try a few to see which works best for you. It’s important to get a professional opinion of your snoring and rule out a diagnosis of sleep apnoea before trying to treat snoring yourself. 

Some anti-snoring devices include: 

• anti-snore pillows – these reposition your neck and head to reduce snoring 

• nasal strips – these are strips of tape that you apply to the outside of your nose to widen your nasal passages and improve airflow 

• oral devices – these are mouthpieces that reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open

• throat sprays  – these work by lubricating your soft palate to reduce vibrations and minimise snoring
