Snoring treatment refers to various methods aimed at reducing or eliminating loud and disruptive breathing during sleep. These may include lifestyle modifications like weight loss, avoiding alcohol and smoking, using a nasal CPAP machine that delivers constant air pressure to keep airways open, oral appliances that reposition the jaw and tongue, or surgical procedures such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) to remove excess tissue in the throat.

Snoring treatment in Australia includes devices like mandibular advancement splints (MAS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines. MAS repositions the jaw forward, preventing obstruction; CPAP keeps airways open by supplying constant airflow.
Australia's universal healthcare system, Medicare, may cover part of snoring treatment costs for eligible patients. Waiting times vary depending on the specific treatment and location.
