Normally during sleep the muscles which control the lower jaw, tongue and soft palate keep the airway open - allowing the sleeper to breathe freely and quietly.

When these muscles relax the jaw drops and the tongue falls back. The airway becomes narrower, which causes snoring and breathing difficulties.

Snoring is the vibration of the air and soft tissue as the air passes through the restricted airway. This is true even when the snoring seems to come from the nose.

If these muscles relax too much the airway can become completely blocked, preventing breathing. This is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.

This may happen from one or two times a night to many times an hour.

SNOREX prevents the tongue and soft palate from blocking the airway by holding the lower jaw closed and slightly forward of its normal position.

SNOREX works whether you breathe through the mouth or the nose. A SNOREX can be adjusted at any time to obtain maximum comfort and effect.
