During sleep, muscle tension decreases, causing the relaxation of the soft palate and tongue, narrowing the natural airway. The airflow causes the tissues to vibrate, creating the snoring sound. If the airway becomes obstructed, it leads to interruptions or pauses in breathing (apnea).
The snoring device/sleep apnea splint is custom-made and adjusted to hold the lower jaw forward during sleep. This keeps the airways open, significantly reducing or often eliminating snoring problems.
