How Snore Guard Works
Designed by a dental surgeon, Snore Guard is worn comfortably at night like a gum guard and forms a barrier to mouth breathing when the lips fall open during sleep. By breathing through the nose, the inhaled air passed behind the soft palate and straight down the trachea, avoiding the structures of the orapharynx that gives rise to snoring.
