FAQs

Do anti-snoring devices treat sleep apnea?

Anti-snoring devices do not treat sleep apnea. Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, but the condition itself is a breathing disorder that causes people to stop breathing for short periods of time while they sleep. It is important to know whether or not you have sleep apnea before buying an anti-snoring product.

Do anti-snoring devices actually work?

Although not every anti-snoring device will work for every person, many people find that using an anti-snoring device can cut down on the amount they snore, or the volume of their snoring. However, you may have to try multiple devices before finding the one that works the best for your unique needs.

Are anti-snoring devices safe?

Anti-snoring devices are generally considered safe for most people who do not have sleep apnea, but you should speak to your doctor before use. One concern with mouthpiece-style devices is that they can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction in some people, so it is important to stop using your device if you experience pain or muscle tension.

Do anti-snoring devices need to be cleared by the FDA?

While not all anti-snoring devices need to be cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), anti-snoring devices that are worn in the mouth are considered Class II medical devices and are regulated by the FDA.

Do I need a prescription to buy an anti-snoring device?

Most anti-snoring devices, including many mouthpieces, can be purchased without a prescription. However, some mouthpiece models, particularly those that are custom-made, can only be purchased with an appropriate prescription.
