How Snorex works

Normal Breathing

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.

Sleep quality is not affected.

The sleeper wakes feeling refreshed.

Snoring

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.

Sleep quality is degraded because the snoring disrupts the normal sleep pattern.

The sleeper will often wake feeling unrested and will easily fall asleep when relaxing.

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

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.

Sleep quality is extremely poor as the snoring and apnoea both disrupt the normal sleep pattern.

So much that the person is permanently tired, driving is impaired, and mood and memory are affected.

What SNOREX does

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.

SNOREX can be adjusted at any time to obtain maximum comfort and effect.

The sleeper has a restful sleep and the normal patterns of sleep are restored.
