How to stop snoring - Live Well

If you answered 'no' to question two, then there might be an issue with your mouth. If this is the case, then you probably sleep with your mouth open, and often wake up with a dry throat. You may benefit from a 'chin strip', which is essentially a strip of tape that runs under your chin and helps stop your mouth falling open while you sleep. Finally, if you answered 'yes' to question three then your snoring might well be due to your tongue vibrating.

Typically, you will have an unusual bite, wherein your lower teeth are behind your upper teeth when you close your mouth. If this is the case, you might want to think about using a 'mandibular advancement device'. This is a plastic gum shield that is designed to fit into your mouth, help push your jaw forward, and increase the space at the back of your throat. It's quite possible that you might be one type of snorer, or be a combination of any two, or even all three.
