There are more technical devices out there that you may want to discuss with your doctor
. One of them is a chin strap which basically clamps your mouth shut at night so that you do not mouth breathe and therefore snore. This forces the snorer to breathe through the nasal cavity. A dentist can provide you with devices that will prevent the soft throat tissues from collapsing to the back of the throat, hindering the flow of air that moves in and out. These types of devices are usually a mouthpiece or a mandibular advancement splint.
