Product Description
The Snore Wizard Mouthpiece The Snore Wizard Mouthpiece is a simple and effective oral device for use in the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Made of special soft feel plastic it comes ready to use. There is no heating or moulding required to achieve a correct fit and you still continue to breathe through your mouth. The SnoreWizard moves the lower jaw slightly forward and holds the mouth slightly open. This improves the airflow at the back of the throat and eliminates snoring in most cases. The Snore Wizard was developed by a dental surgeon and the product has undergone numerous clinical trials in which it was found to reduce snoring and sleep apnea in 94% of research subjects. The Snore Wizard was designed to increase the space behind the tongue by bringing the lower jaw (mandible) forward, opening the airway in the throat and eliminating snoring. Why Most People Snore Normally air passes through the throat to the lungs silently and unhindered. In snorer's however, fatty tissue, tonsils and adenoids can narrow passageways, creating turbulence that makes the throat tissue vibrate. The problem can be exacerbated by excess body weight and/or excessive alcohol consumption prior to sleeping. Snoring has nothing to do with the nostrils. How To Best Prevent Snoring Snoring will not occur if the airway in the throat remains open. This can be accomplished by holding your lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. This is the exact reason that The Snore Wizard was invented. Snoring problems and the more severe form, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are common problems found in many households. OSAS is the most well manifested form of snoring diseases in which the affected person stops breathing during sleep due to an obstruction of the airway passage towards the lungs. Due to sleeping problems the affected individuals perform day time activities at a very reduced level, which gives rise to a wide range of problems, both from a medical and a social behavioral point
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
For anyone who snores, you will know what I mean when I say this was life changing. I don't what percentage of snorers this would work on, but it certainly worked on me. My snoring had gotten louder and louder to the point where being a house guest was embarassing. Although my wife could usually sleep through it, she occasionally woke up and couldn't go back to the sleep, unable to stop me, even if she got me turned on my side. This device pushes my lower jaw forward, freeing up the air passage. Now, I have an overbite to begin with, and if I push my lower jaw out and take a deep breath I can feel the air flowing much more smoothly than normal. This doesn't seem to be true of most people, so maybe effectiveness is limited to a certain type of jaw. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is a workmanship issue - the mold flashing leaves an annoying edge on the part line. It took me a few weeks to get used to it.
