How Effective Is A Snoring Chin Strap As A Snoring Solution?

How effective is a snoring chin strap or jaw supporter to stop snoring?

One of the most successful clinically proven methods of opening the airway involves forward positioning of the lower jaw. By moving the lower jaw forward, the tongue (which is attached to the lower jaw) also moves forward.

Snoring chin straps or jaw supporters actually do the opposite of what is needed to keep the airway open. They pull the jaw back, which in turn pushes the tongue back towards the palate and the back wall of the airway.

At best, by keeping the jaw in a closed position, a snore chin strap (e.g., Snoring Solution Jaw Supporter) will help muffle the snoring noise. But this can result in a dangerous consequence as the tongue is pushed back against the back wall of the airway, the tendency for sleep apnea increases. So a partial relief of the snoring causes a more serious problem.

Over 25% of the people that snore have sleep apnea, but only 2% of females and 4% of males have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Consequently, a lot of sleep apnea goes untreated.

So if you snore, it is very possible that you have sleep apnea too. Unfortunately, wearing a jaw supporter can actually increase your chances of having sleep apnea.

Advertising for these devices leads you to believe that jaw supporters decrease apnea, but in almost all cases there is still a dangerous level of apnea present with wearing these devices. The studies show that oxygen saturation still remains below 90% and apneas are barely decreased (and in some cases actually increased) with these devices.
