For those who want to simulate the feeling, touch your tongue to the front of your top teeth and jut your jaw forward so you can close your jaw with your tongue staying in place, sandwiched between the front of your top teeth and back of your bottom teeth.
It was wildly uncomfortable and I gave up after three nights. Also didn't notice better sleep.
- rob74 3y agoWow, I can (just barely) slide my bottom teeth in front of my top teeth, but not with the tongue in between, and it still feels extremely weird and uncomfortable...
- stavros 3y agoDoes anyone have a photo of these? I can only find the boxing ones, and don't understand how they might help with snoring.
- sethammons 3y agoTo see a photo, image search "apnea sleep guard." By jutting your lower jaw forward, it is supposed to move your whole lower jaw assembly including tongue forward. It is the tongue drooping back towards your throat that causes the snoring for most. This, in turn, should reduce episodes of reduced oxygen then leading to less wakeful events since your body is not having to jerk itself awake to keep air flowing.
- stavros 3y agoAhh, I see, thank you, so this is by design. Yeah, this much tension on your front teeth really can't be good :(
