Almost everyone snores occasionally, in fact, one-third of the world’s population snores regularly. While sleeping, your tongue and the tissue around the soft palate relax and falls back, blocking the airway. Due to this lack of air, your body panics and increases the velocity of air inhaled. This increased velocity causes the tissue at the back of the throat to vibrate and cause the snoring noise.
Serious health problems that may be related to snoring include:
Sleep Apnea
Hypertension
High Blood Pressure
Heart Problems
Stroke
Cardiac Arrest
It takes approximately 30 painless minutes for the doctor to fit the Snore Guard. Each Snore Guard is fitted to the individual patient. Normally most people can adapt to wearing the appliance all night for 4 to 7 nights. By the end of the week, you should be sleeping comfortably and soundlessly.
