    Probably not in the spirit of an ozbargainer but
    I got a somonmed mouthguard from a dental prosthesist for $1300 (and I get a fair bit back from my health fund) - it eliminates all my snores! I tested with a sleep app - without it I snored a lot but with the mouthguard the app didn't record anything!

        I have used sonnomed only for a few times. But the day after the first trial, I seem to be quite awake - as if I used my CPAP machine.
        and I did use an app to record my snore when I used sonnomed - did not record even one snore!

      • thedriver on 20/03/2018 - 10:37

        From a dental perspective, I would suggest a snore solution that doesn't alter the jaw geometry.

        Check out either of these first (both have money back guaranteees):
        Good Morning Snore Solution
        The Silent Treatment

        My partner (with obstructive sleep apnoea) was recommended a somnomed but our dentist had some concerns. The devices like this (called a Mandibular Advancement Device) work by projecting the lower jaw forward. In time this can change your bite and cause jaw pain. Our dentist also noted that they are overpriced and should be fitted by your own dentist to take into account any dentistry (and it's cheaper). He noted that the dentist that your referred to gets the kickbacks from somnomed.

        I did some further research and found Tongue Stabilisation Devices instead. These work by pulling the tongue forward. And it's the tongue that is actually the problem (normally).

        Anyway, she tried the Good Morning Snore Solution first and it has made a massive difference. Although she does find she salivates a lot and it sometimes makes her tongue sore. The manufacturer recommends using a little olive oil to prevent the soreness, but my partner hasn't tried this yet. The dentist is much happier with this option.

        We've just ordered the Silent Treatment and are hoping to see results with it. They have an even better return policy!

        I would suggest talking to your own dentist about these options first. Try them out even, they come with money back guarantees, and they're a LOT cheaper than the Somnomed or other prescribed MADs. If they don't work for you've lost very little (except some time).

      I have a Somnomed, as well. It's not perfect, but does help. I have a Silicon thing you stick up your nose to keep the nasal passages open, and that work's pretty well, although I'm still a noisy breather during the night. They work well, combined, though.

          if it's light boxing, yes.
          But I won't wear it during serious ring boxing - there is a stopper thing to push your lower jaw out. A proper boxing mouthguard done at a dentist would offer better protection - and it's just like a hundred dollars.

        SO do CPAP masks. I know first hand. But would you rather

        POSSIBLY
        A) Crash your car, falling asleep at the wheel
        AND possibly
        B) Lose your job, falling asleep at your desk or at a meeting (or operating heavy machinery)
        AND possibly
        C) Lose your love life because your loved one can't handle the snoring anymore
        AND possibly
        D) Deprive your brain of enough oxygen that your thinking and reaction time becomes foggy and you come across as mentally delayed

        OR

        E) Lose a couple of grand every 5 years, be a little bloated occassionally and have an underbite?

        tl;dr - Use your damned CPAP even if it moves your teeth. Particularly if you drive.

        • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 08:21

          @Ss-ss:

          Thanks for your concern. I had some stuff for the kids to do which is why I was up. I'm also a shift worker, which comes with its own problems.

          But I've notified RMS of the sleep apnea and my GP has to sign off on my medical fitness to drive every year, which means he has to see reports coming out of my CPAP or a letter from the specialist. Just went through that last week. My machine tells me that my compliance is over 98% (average at least 4-6 hours - can't remember the exact number of therapy a night with AHI under 5). The 98% figure would be higher but I use my older CPAP when I go away overnight for short periods. Anyway anyone who tracks this sort of thing would know my compliance is quite high. The truth is I feel like crap when I wake up if I don't use my CPAP, so the only time I won't is if my nose is completely congested.

          I had a hard time adjusting too. For over a year I wore my CPAP mask upside down because I couldn't handle anything on the bridge of my nose and interfering with my vision the first year. Well worth the adjustment though. I wouldn't have kept my job otherwise.

        • theraque on 19/03/2018 - 17:25

          CPAP doesn't move your jaw/teeth at all. It forces air to open the soft pallette that would otherwise rest at the back of the mouth. I have a device similar to the Sonomed and while it does work - is bulky in the mouth, causes saliva to drool out of it, and is just plain annoying to wear. I got a CPAP and never looked back. I've used a full face, nose, and nasal pillow type mask. I quickly turned to the nasal pillow type as it provides the best pressure and has the best seal.

        • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 17:35

          @theraque:

          Many if not most people use a nasal mask. The straps on the mask strap the nose mask to just above your upper lip and this does put pressure on your teeth. I have definitely had my upper teeth pulled back slightly after a decade and a half of use, and now have a slight under-bite. Google "CPAP upper teeth" without the quotes. If you want a good seal on the mask while you're asleep and your head is resting on a pillow in different positions the straps can't be too loose.

          It's great that you can use a full face mask. I only tried one once at a sleep study, but I couldn't get it to work for me. I felt like I was suffocating. A full face mask does take the pressure off your upper teeth but puts some pressure on your lower teeth. So I'm not sure over time how that pressure compares to a nasal mask.

          Don't let moving teeth put you off. The CPAP basically gives you back your life. Before this therapy existed sleep apnea was basically a slow horrible death sentence.

        • theraque on 19/03/2018 - 17:52

          @syousef: I had a good read on CPAP affecting teeth and it looks like it's due to the air drying out the tongue and gums. The tongue then subconsciously moves to the front teeth to make a seal which in turn moves the jaw forward a little. People suggested either a full facemask or a nasal pillow (pillows are what I use) to address the problem. In regards to straps, if your nose mask is too tight, then yeah, you're going to move your jaw with it. In regards to correct mask tightening, you needn't have it tight against your face. Just tight enough to keep the mask on without breaking the seal. In other words, it should "rest" on your face and be kinda loose then when your get the machine going, it'll fluff out the silicone on the mask and seal itself.

        • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 17:54

          @theraque:

          If it's loose against your face and you rest your face against the pillow, you're going to have it leak.

          I'm not a newb. I've been doing this about 15 years.

          Of course too tight is going to be painful and you won't tolerate the mask.

          The first year or two I wore my mask upside down because I couldn't handle things infront of my eyes and on the bridge of my nose. May sound strange but it's what it took for me to get use to it.

          At least you acknowledged a CPAP mask can cause teeth to move.

    • BadGiraffe on 19/03/2018 - 11:23

      Interesting. Did you do a sleep study first to find out if the mouth guard would work? Because the mouth guard doesn't work for everyone right?

      I did an operation more than 15 years ago. Carved out the back of my throat and pulled out my tonsils. The snoring came back 10 years after the operation. $1300 for a mouth guard would be worth it… if it works for me, that is.

      • freakthe on 19/03/2018 - 12:09

        the pharmacy's cheap mouthguard? No I didn't see my sleep specialist for that.

        But i did see one before I got my CPAP and the sonnomed. Without the specialist' referal letter I cannot claim anything from my health fund.

      It might provide some positive pressure support on expiration but would give a higher negative pressure on inspiration.

        positive pressure support on expiration

        Yes, this is likely the intention.

        would give a higher negative pressure on inspiration

        There are ways to minimize this.

        But there's absolutely no way this thing was build to comply with medical device standards, so I wouldn't be using it while sleeping.

      • Baa on 18/03/2018 - 14:49

        My wife bought some before, she thought this could be used in place of my CPAP. Especially when traveling - I used it for a night or two just to prove her wrong.

        I have tried mouthgaurds, straps, strips and so on with no success, while these may work for some people, CPAP has been the only reliable solution for my case.

        • alidli on 18/03/2018 - 14:56

          Would give it a look at though if and when it comes out for use on short periods. It is a daily disposable cpap, would only use it when travelling though as they are estimating a $3 to $5 cost per unit.

      Don't believe that link. Any proper working CPAP will pop out due to the amount of positive pressure required. I don't even know how it can stop the air from going backwards. Also imagine the vibration of that thing and the sound of clacking as the micro blowers work.

      • Baa on 18/03/2018 - 19:34

        I have never backed it, they seem to release updates sporadically. I think it will turn into nothing personally but doesn't hurt to hope!

        Unfortunately not many options out there without going under the knife. I am lucky enough for most trips away I can skip the CPAP mostly.

    • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 01:24

      Baa is right. CPAP works by opening up the airway, not just your nostrils. This excuse for a product is just BS made to take your money even if it is extremely cheap. If these things worked CPAP companies would have shut up shop by now. Why would you buy a $1000 machine and $300 mask if you could buy a $1 nose clip?

      • abb on 19/03/2018 - 09:31

        If these things worked CPAP companies would have shut up shop by now.

        Not necessarily. ResMed more-or-less created the CPAP market, and they have really deep pockets. They're good at convincing people they need CPAP. Don't get me wrong, CPAP is great if you need it.

        Not being overweight costs nothing (except willpower) and is extremely likely to prevent you from developing sleep apnoea to the point of requiring CPAP in the first place…

        • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 12:04

          So much wrong with what you've said:

          1. Not everyone with sleep apnea is overweight. Yes it's a major risk factor. No it's not the only one.

          2. If willpower were easy there would be few overweight people. The reality is most overweight people who lose weight only do so temporarily even when they try desperately hard.
            https://www.healthline.com/health-news/obese-people-have-sli…

          3. Before CPAP the best option was surgery. Not only more expensive and much more dangerous but also a very high rate of recurrence. Surgeons and the medical establishment didn't block CPAP technology, and nor could these large companies if there was a viable alternative.

          4. The sheer fact that CPAPs are so expensive and some people literally can't afford one even when they need one, people would have found devices like these and ditched CPAP.

          5. A minor point: Resmed has not been the only major player for a very very long time. There are offerings by Fisher and Paykel, Phillips. There are other smaller specialists such as Devilbiss and a whole host of less established players lately, including low cost Chinese manufacturers targeting those who need a CPAP but can't afford one.

  • Name on 18/03/2018 - 13:18

    Yeah. I don't see how this can stop me from opening my mouth while sleeping and breathing through my mouth resulting in snoring. The thickness of the plastic things you jam into your nose probably results in a smaller air passage than normal even if it's meant to stretch your nostril open.

          I had a sleep study done, too: they woke me up at 5:30am (bas***ds) to kick me out. My dentist got me to do the sleep study (via referral to an ENT specialist) prior to getting a somnomed.
          P.S. No, they didn't kick me out because I was snoring LOL. They wake everyone up at 5:30am in public (Randwick Hospital); my son had one in a private hospital and got an extra 1/2 hour. I didn't want to pay $500 excess (for myself) just for 30 minutes…

      that's exactly right! I tried a mouthguard thing from a pharmacy that I mould it with hot water. It doesn't work and it is not comfortable. I returned it few days later.

      Just search it when it comes, then if there is, sue them for breaching privacy.

    Save yourself $1.10 and sleep on your side.

      Or give your sleeping partner a kick in the ankle when they start.

    Will you look scary to your fellow airplane passengers if you have this up your nose and a pair of Airpods in your ears?

      You will look better than if you have one of these in each ear and airpods in your nose

    In my village it's called elbow, works every time and it's free.

    • syousef on 19/03/2018 - 01:25

      I know you're just joking, but someone might take this seriously. If that worked no one with a partner would buy a CPAP.

    I'm pretty sure this won't work/ won't stay on your nose. If you have a snoring problem a cpap machine is the only sure way to get rid of it. But its not cheap. I have been using a cpap machine for the last 6 months and its been pretty good for my sleep apnea/snoring.

    • BadGiraffe on 19/03/2018 - 11:27

      Does it create much noise? And how portable is it?

      • ozone141 on 19/03/2018 - 14:40

        The version i have is kind of portable and comes with a bag. but you get a smaller version which does not have a humidifier.

        I purchased mine from the US. its 2000aud here and about ~900USD from the US ( but they have offers from time to time and I got 10% off and free mask )

        If you are serious about getting one send me a pm and i can give you my number to have a chat

        • BadGiraffe on 19/03/2018 - 14:45

          I am serious, but I should see a specialist first, I take it. I said further up the page that I had an operation done, but 10 years after, the snoring came back, and I've been told I stop breathing and gasp for air when I sleep.

          I did one of those in-home studies, and my GP said that yes, I have have a case of sleep apnea, and he told me to lose some weight. He left it at that.

          So first up… should I get a referral first?

        • ozone141 on 19/03/2018 - 18:21

          @flaminglemon:

          You can see a sleep doctor (via GP referral). and get a referral document. Then I visited cpap victoria for a 1 month trial (99AUD). helped me decide on the machine and mask… ( they will help you with adjusting to the machine and sleeping with it). when I was ready and knew what i wanted, i got the machine from US. Shipping was about 70USD but was very fast. Got it in 4 days. better than AUS POST :D

        • BadGiraffe on 19/03/2018 - 21:03

          @ozone141: Noted. Thanks ozone141. It's been a few years since I began snoring again. Time to get this fixed. I'll remember to look online locally and overseas for a bargain.

    Don't waste your time. The only thing that stops snoring and sleep apnea are devices that force air into you during the intake process.

  • dangerdanger on 18/03/2018 - 21:11

    Anyone know a good sleep doctor in Adelaide? Been to one and he was so dodgy

  • DarthPyro on 18/03/2018 - 21:36

    Just pick you nose before bed. Problem solved.

  • dangerdanger on 18/03/2018 - 23:08

    Wonder how they say it's anti-snoring, not anti-sleep-apnea? So you can't sue them if it doesn't work, because sleep apnea can kill you
