Do sleep apnea mouth guards work?

Mujhe sleep apnea hai aur mere doc ne mouth guard use karne ko bola hai. Kya yeh mouth guards sach mein kaam karte hain, ya bas paise ki barbaadi hai?

I went to a top multi-specialty hospital for my snoring issues and they recommended a custom mandibular advancement device. They do work for mild to moderate sleep apnea by keeping the airway open. You should clearly ask your ENT specialist if you are a right candidate for it before buying.

Yes, they actually work wonders for many people who find CPAP machines too bulky! 😴 It helps keep your jaw forward so you can breathe easily. Just make sure to get a custom-fit one from a dentist! ✨

I am not an expert, but I know that sleep issues can be quite common with hormonal imbalances like PCOS. Some of my friends have tried these mouth guards and found relief from snoring. However, it's safer to get a proper sleep study done first to see what you actually need.

Sleeping with a plastic guard in your mouth isn't exactly romantic, but it is definitely better than waking up the whole neighborhood with loud snoring! They do work for mild apnea. My wife is certainly much happier since I started using one.

Haan na, my uncle was using one and it actually helped reduce his heavy snoring. It takes some time to get used to having it in your mouth overnight, ho na, but it is much more comfortable than those big masks.

I totally get it, struggling to breathe properly at night and feeling tired all day is so frustrating and exhausting. These mouth guards can be life-changing for mild sleep apnea because they physically prevent the throat from closing. Please discuss it with a sleep doctor to find comfort.

Humare parichit ne ise istemal kiya tha aur unki kharrate lene ki aadat mein kaafi sudhaar hua. Shuruat mein thoda ajeeb lagta hai mooh mein rakhna, par dhire dhire aadat ho jati hai aur neend bhi acchi aati hai.
