Snoring usually occurs when a person's airway at the back of the throat constricts, causing air to be inhaled at an increased speed and pressure. This results in the soft tissue in the back of the mouth vibrating, creating the snoring noise. Sleep apnea is a cessation, or interruption, of breathing during sleep. The cause of OSA is similar to that of snoring. When the airway becomes constricted enough, breathing will stop and oxygen will be blocked from the lungs.

The anti-snoring /sleep apnia appliance is a comfortable, oral mouthpiece which is worn only during sleep. The appliance positions the lower jaw into a forward position. If you move the lower jaw forward into a comfortable position, the tongue is automatically moved out of the airway, thus stopping snoring and controlling mild to moderate OSA.
