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 New Zealand includes devices like mandibular advancement splints (MAS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines. MAS repositions the jaw forward to keep airways open, while CPAP uses pressurized air to maintain breathing. Cost ranges from NZ$1,500 to NZ$3,500.
New Zealand's public healthcare system covers some snoring treatments, but waiting times can be long. Private clinics offer quicker access.
