Sleep apnea is a more serious condition than simple snoring and should be managed by a qualified professional. Depending on the severity of the apnea, an anti snoring device for sleep apnea may be recommended for mild to moderate cases, or for people who cannot tolerate the use of a CPAP machine. Insurance sometimes covers the cost of a custom sleep apnea mouthpiece, but people often find over-the-counter mouthpieces, such as ZQuiet, to be less expensive and just as effective as a simple fix for snoring and sleep apnea. Always discuss your condition and the best solution with a qualified specialist.
