Studies have shown that approximately 40% of the population snore and that increases to 60% in men over the age of 60.
What causes snoring?
When the throat muscles relax in sleep, they are less effective in holding your breathing passages open. The soft sides of the airway tend to close in and the air has to move faster through a smaller space. This causes vibrations of the soft tissues which generate the noise of snoring. It has also been shown that excess body weight; heavy alcohol consumption and other sedatives or sleeping on your back can increase the severity of snoring.
Our Anti-Snoring devises are at work at night and usually operate by displacing the lower jaw forward in an anterior direction in order to achieve the opening of the pharyngeal section of the airways.
