You can spend hundreds on having a dentist mold you one of these, or you can try this one. The key to this product is to keep muscles that hold airways open and relaxed. When these collapse the flow of air is obstructed and can cause a vibration (this is usually referred to as snoring). Overweight people may be more prone to snoring and snoring may be a sign of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). If you think you have it, you should get it checked out by an expert.
