- Mouth breathing correction
Surprisingly, many people would stop snoring if they could just learn how to breathe through their nose instead of their mouths.
- Palate scarring
By stiffening the palate you can reduce palate vibration thereby reducing snoring. The scarring of the palate could be made surgically using a scalpel or laser and by injecting a scarring solution to the relevant tissues.
- Palate implants
By inserting small implants made of Dacron (a special substance which normal tissue can grow into) into the palate, you can add structural support that stiffens the palate. The added support reduces the tissue vibration which causes snoring.
- Radiofrequency treatments
Radiofrequency treatments such as Radio Frequency Tissue Ablation (RFTA) and Radio Frequency Tissue Reduction (RFTR) consist of emitting RF energy into the soft palate, throat and tongue using a special wand shaped needle. The emitted energy causes scar tissue to be formed thereby stiffening the tissue and reducing vibration.
- Surgery
Surgical procedures often involve the removal of the uvula (Uvulopalatoplasty), palate and throat tissues. The removal of these tissues should make breathing easier.
