Snoring occurs primarily when air passages are obstructed. While common causes of air passage obstruction include colds or allergies, much of the time, the airways are obstructed by the natural weight of the body.
Muscle, tissue, and excess fat on the neck and under the head weigh down the esophagus and other air passages. When these airways become constricted, the passages open and close rapidly, creating that infamous snoring sound along the way.
To avoid this, the ZQuiet mouthpiece lifts this tissue from the airways by protruding the lower jaw. Moving the lower jaw forward creates negative space in the back of the throat and lifts away the problematic tissue, allowing the airway to breathe.
ZQuiet mouthpieces come in two sizes to help you find the best protrusion and most comfortable fit, while still preventing snoring and sleep apnea.
