During sleep, the muscles relax, causing the lower jaw to drop back and the throat to narrow. As a result, the breathing air is sucked in at an increased speed – the snoring sound is now caused by a fluttering of the posterior palate (“soft palate”) in the airflow.

A specially made snoring splint, which is worn at night, prevents the lower jaw from falling back and thus keeps the airways clear.

Why is snoring therapy important?

It’s not just partners who suffer from snoring, it’s your own health that suffers the most. It can lead to breathing interruptions and a lack of oxygen supply to the entire body – the deep sleep phases are therefore disturbed and restful sleep is usually not possible.
