What is the Snore Guard Anti-Snoring Device?
Product Overview
The Snore Guard Anti-Snoring Device is an intra-oral appliance designed to reduce or eliminate snoring. Its primary function is to help individuals suffering from snoring, and it can also be beneficial for those with mild to moderate sleep apnea, as determined by a healthcare professional. This device works by gently adjusting the position of the jaw and/or tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing the vibrations that cause the sound of snoring.
- Reduces snoring by addressing its root causes.
- May help manage mild to moderate sleep apnea symptoms.
How Does the Snore Guard Work?
Mechanism of Action
The Snore Guard works by gently holding the lower jaw forward, a process known as mandibular advancement. This forward positioning opens the airway, preventing the tongue and soft tissues in the throat from collapsing and obstructing airflow during sleep. By maintaining a clear airway, the device reduces the vibrations that lead to snoring. The device's design also helps to minimize the movement of the soft palate, further decreasing the likelihood of snoring.
- Maintains an open airway by adjusting the jaw position.
- Reduces tissue vibration in the throat and soft palate.
