Well, to simulate how they work... Sit normal... chill... Now try to make a snoring sound... Now extend your lower jaw so you have a BIG under-bite. Try to snore again... Very hard to do without straining neck muscles to get the airway closed enough... Simple...

But there is a big problem... Your "bite" is developed over time. Which is why people with over or under bites that get braces also get rubber bands. Those bands are there to teach your jaw muscles to "sit" with your teeth lined up.

You can cure yourself of an over or under bit by staying aware of the problem and correcting it yourself. And this is the problem with these devices... You will develop an under bit unless during the day you keep telling yourself to correct for it.

Not that big of deal really... at this stage of your life it just makes you look like a bulldog.... With a flat top and a gut you look mean...
