Mandibular Advancement
How does mandibular advancement work?
While you can hold your jaw forward when awake, you can't when asleep. The solution is to wear a mandibular advancer like our Sleep Pro. It is a beautifully simple and comfortable way to hold your jaw slightly forward and most people get used to wearing one very quickly. It opens the upper airway and gently keeps the soft palate taut. When these two factors are combined, you can be almost sure to stop snoring. Most snorers, regardless of their type of snoring, benefit from having more space to breathe through in the upper airway.
Our Sleep Pro mandibular advancers move the jaw forward using a malleable mouthpiece that is worn between the upper and lower teeth when sleeping. Both the Sleep Pro 1 and 2 have large breathing holes that make them ideal for people who breathe through their mouth, or when you have a cold or hay fever. The Sleep Pro 1 is the only mouthpiece of its type that has a large breathing hole and we think this makes it the best device of its type to stop snoring.
While most of our customers wear a Sleep Pro every night, some people get one to stop snoring for occasional use. They have one on-hand for when they are very tired, when they've been drinking, or for example, when staying in a hotel where there is no escape for the partner to the sofa or spare room. A Sleep Pro 1 is cheaper than a second hotel room and it is a very effective way to stop snoring.
It is very likely you know of someone, who wears a mandibular advancement splint to stop snoring. In the fulness of time, they will be as common and indispensable as a toothbrush for people who snore.
