Myosa® for Snorers
What causes snoring
Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the nose or mouth is obstructed during sleep. While this airflow obstruction is typically caused by relaxation and poor muscle tone around the throat and jaws, there are many underlying causes of snoring as well as other breathing disorders.
The most common of these are chronic mouth breathing, poor diet, body size and lack of forward development of the jaws. Additionally, orthodontics with extractions can make breathing problems worse.
Normal nose breathing vs mouth breathing
Mouth breathing is abnormal and is one of the causes of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD) problems.
If a child regularly breathes through the mouth, the jaws will not develop forwards correctly. Adults who have SRBD will usually have underdeveloped jaws, which causes the tongue and lower jaw to restrict the airway.
Therefore, it is important to learn how to breathe correctly through the nose at all times in order to maintain an advanced position of the lower jaw and tongue, as well as keeping the airway open.
The above images show a comparison between mouth breathing and nose breathing. Note the change in breathing and position of the oral muscles.
Myosa® for Snorers
How it works
Myosa® addresses the symptoms associated with BDS such as snoring, poor sleep, head and neck pain as well as the underlying breathing and muscle problems. The appliances work by repositioning the lower jaw to open the airway, improve tongue posture and oral muscle function while also encouraging nasal breathing.
Myosa® appliances are worn for 1–2 hours daily and overnight while sleeping. Myosa® Activities and Myotalea® appliances further assist in strengthening oral and airway muscles to reduce collapse during sleep.
Consultation with a medical practitioner is essential to correctly evaluate your condition. Contact your nearest Myosa® practitioner for more information. Myosa® for Snorers appliances are for people 18+ years of age.
