Some people who’re looking to find an end to their snoring problem don’t like to use physical snoring aids like shaped pillows, or an anti-snoring jaw supporter. This can be due to a variety of reasons- some people move a lot in their sleep, or simply find the snoring aids that are out there a little uncomfortable.
For people in this situation, one option they can try is the anti-snoring mouth spray. Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of this solution.
The way it works is that for a lot of snorers, the unpleasant noise is caused by loose tissue in the mouth, often in the roof of the mouth and towards the back by the uvula. Try this simple check now- push your tongue against the roof of your mouth, in that area by the back. What you’ll encounter is a sort of membrane of skin, pulled tight by the connective tissues of the mouth.
Now open your mouth and, remaining aware of that part of your mouth, breath deeply, forcing air past it. You should feel it vibrate, the edge flapping back and forth with a sort of buzz against the back of your throat.
You’ve made yourself snore. You’ve felt the movement of loose skin in the mouth. It’s this version of snoring which an anti-snoring spray can treat. It has a chemical agent which stiffens these tissues, thus preventing or at least lessening the vibration which causes the distinctive sound of loud snoring, and helping both you and your partner get a good night’s sleep.
There are some drawbacks- it doesn’t always last all night, and some sprays can dry the mouth. It is, however, an option that works very well for some.
