Automatically ask about snore guards and almost 100% of the time patient is using one. I decline to prescribe them.

This. They went in a fixed it, did my adenoids & tonsils.

Definitely check for sleep apnea. Could have other health implications as well.

Just be aware the oral device will eventually mess up your bite

I’m an orthodontist and see it all the time. May not happen in every case

I meant to say that I've never ran across that... Yet. Hope it doesn't happen to my patients. But I went to USC, soooo😂

That explains a lot - you can guess where I went based on my name

Are you an actual orthodontist? bc BYU doesn’t even have a dental school.

Raise the head of your bed and sleep on your side

Maybe your wife should see a counselor while you get a sleep study

Yeah, the reaction of crying due to snoring is more concerning than snoring

The snoring isn't making her cry, the inability to fall asleep is.

Crying is definitely normal. Long-term exhaustion coupled with repeated
Nittany Cougar

No its not normal when you can easily get up and leave to sleep elsewhere

That doesn’t solve the problem. It builds resentment.
TeeKaa
Jul 13, 2:59pm
How about both. Is crying the best option here for an adult?
chismoso
Jul 13, 8:11pm
Sure, Possibly it’s her way of coping with a tremendous lack of sleep

How bout she is massively sleep deprived, rather than striking out at him she

Let’s solve the known physical problem first-then we can go after the crazy wife
TeeKaa
Jul 14, 1:55pm
I don’t disagree that the snoring should be addressed first and that will help

Appreciate the sincere concern and I’m a huge advocate of therapy. To clarify…

My response would have been to smother him in his sleep
LevZloi
Jul 13, 9:26am
Most people would just leave the room and sleep somewhere else. Not just lay

You must be one of those lucky people who can sleep anywhere.

No offense taken. Just pretty obtuse to recommend counseling…

I’d suggest losing 30-40 lbs before trying anything else. Easier said than done but for most ppl that will solve it and

Also, I had a deviated septum which I had a surgery for. Didn’t make a difference for me but of course YMMV

I stopped my snoring after only losing 15lbs.

Does afrin alleviate the snoring? If so maybe pursue that deviated septum issue

Tape! If you're a mouth breather/snorer.

Weight loss is the answer

Tape your mouth

Mouth taping helps me, and micropore tape is cheap and works fine

It’s like telling someone to take steroids to get ripped. It’s not good for you.

There are lawsuits against Ozempic.
