When you sleep, the muscles of the jaw and throat relax, allowing the jaw to drop back and narrow the airway at the back of the throat. The narrow airway acts like the pipe in an organ, the air speeds up and vibrates causing snoring.

The conditions which allow the muscles of the jaw and throat to relax are not always consistent. Alcohol, physical work, stress or sickness can trigger those conditions.

When we first start snoring we may be fairly young but it can start at any age. Generally, as we get older the muscles lose their firmness and tone. In the neck, throat and jaw, that allows the jaw to drop more and make the airway even narrower. Also as we age we tend to put on weight around the neck.

Very fit people snore. Carrying excess weight and not exercising are not the cause of snoring, but they will make things worse. Losing weight and doing more exercise are good for you and may help in the short term, but is not the long term solution.

This is called 'sleep apnoea'. In its commonest form the airway closes off briefly as you inhale. You struggle to regain your breath for a few seconds. Then with a grunt you start breathing again. When this happens often it has serious consequences for the snorer. Reduced oxygen levels in the blood affect the heart and brain. The struggle to regain our breath starts off an automatic response that disrupts the natural sleep patterns and over time leaves us sleep deprived.

SNOREPRO holds the lower jaw closed and forward while you sleep, this keeps the airway open, and permits the air to flow slowly so snoring does not start.

No, the SNOREPRO cannot choke you and is perfectly safe to use.

With a SNOREPRO you can breathe though your mouth or your nose, as you prefer. However, using a SNOREPRO does encourage you to breathe through your nose.

Yes, it is comfortable, if a little strange at first. Comfort is important, so if you notice any parts of the device that irritate you they will be polished off at the time your SNOREPRO is fitted and any time after that free of charge during the first year.

The SNOREPRO has a success rate of 95-98%. Some snorers have complications that prevent the SNOREPRO from being effective.

A lot will depend on how well it is looked after. In normal use and cared for as recommended, you can expect it to last about five to eight years. However, people have made them last fifteen years and others need to replace them every two years.

Absolutely. Some customers require their device to be adjusted after their initial fitting. If after a couple of unsuccessful adjustments the SNOREPRO still does not at least significantly reduce your snoring to your satisfaction, return it for a full refund.

We assess customers who have false teeth on a case by case basis. A lot depends on whether there are full or partial plates involved and whether they are upper, lower or both plates.

As much as we’d like to say Yes, your SNOREPRO will only stop you from snoring while being worn. Many of our customers have not snored when not using the device but this is often a temporary situation.

A Snorepro costs $750 including GST to be made. Each device is carefully hand crafted by skilled technicians and takes considerable time to make. You will also have at least 2 consultations with a Snorepro specialist as part of our personalised service approach. It is also important to remember that we can assist most people to have a restful sleep and we offer a money back guarantee.

Many customers have a second SNOREPRO manufactured to suit their individual circumstances. We offer a second SNOREPRO at a reduced price of $500 AUD.

Each SNOREPRO is custom made because everyone is different. The reason SNOREPRO is so successful is that each one is made to the user’s unique characteristics. So it requires a visit to a SNOREPRO specialist.
