If you are looking for an evidence-based treatment for snoring, the strongest clinical guidelines point to oral appliance therapy. Mandibular advancement splints are recommended as first line care for primary snoring by the Australasian Sleep Association and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. This article explains why these devices work, how they compare with other treatments and what to expect when you begin care at Sleep Matters.
