Hi Steven,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I hope you will continue as your course of therapy proceeds.

Most snoring occurs as the soft palate, the tongue, nasopharynx, pharynx, or hypopharynx lose their structural integrity during the relaxation of sleep. Where the airway is supported by bone structure the likelihood of snoring is markedly decreased.

Thanks again,

Brian
