Oral Appliances for snoring and sleep apnea work by repositioning the
jaw and tongue more forward during sleep. This helps open the airway
by moving the tongue and all the structures attached to it forward. For
many obstructive sleep apnea sufferers, the restricition to breathing
is centered is the area behind the tongue, from the uvula down to the
vocal cords. A small repositioning forward can make a substantial change
in amount of open airway. More air flowing brings less noise, more restful
sleep, and happier bed partners.
