i found a cure to snoring?
people with under bites have a less likely chance of breathing
when the lower jaw is pushed upward putting the upper set of teeth behind you lower set of teeth. your air ways are opened flowing more air without the snore.
snores are created from a slab of skin in your throat blocking your air way. but if that skin is pushed away then the snoring is gone.
so i am making somthing to keep your lower jaw upward during sleeping withouht botthering your sleep
oops i meant SNORING not breathing in the first sentence lol
errr … well done?

Well, it's not an underbite- but what you have discovered is something medical folks have known for years. When you lie flat on your back, especially if you are unconscious- the lower jaw shifts back towards the neck, as does the tongue. It occludes the airway somewhat, and if you are asleep you will snore. One of the first steps in dealing with this is to use the fingers underneath and behind the joint to slip the jaw forwards. The tongue follows along for the ride, if not, there are pharangeal airways designed to hold it in place and keep the mouth slightly open. A device that merely holds the lower jaw forward, without securing the tongue, won't keep an airway clear. And people do snore for other reasons- having to do with the upper airway- the back of the nose for instance. Stuffy noses, deviated septums and sinus or allergy problems also cause snoring. And snoring can occur in positions other than lying flat on the back- people can and do snore on their sides and sleeping on their stomachs. I don't want to discourage you- if you can develop something that actually will secure the lower jaw forwards and hold the tongue in place, great. Make it comfy for wearing- because no matter how well it works, if it's not comfy- folks won't use it. Good luck.
