Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of anti-snoring technology, specifically relating to a simple adjustable anti-snoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Snoring, also known as sleep apnea syndrome, occurs when the uvula, soft palate, and uvula in the throat obstruct the airway to varying degrees during sleep, producing snoring sounds. When the obstruction reaches a certain level, it can cause changes in airway pressure and lead to apnea. This not only affects sleep quality and reduces productivity but can also cause changes in blood pressure and endocrine function, inducing or exacerbating diseases in many systems.

[0003] The underlying cause is the relaxation or collapse of the soft tissues in the upper respiratory tract and pharynx, which is a problem with the physiological structure of the upper airway. Therefore, supporting the relaxed and collapsed muscles through physical methods is the quickest and most effective solution.
