Test and opinion of the Oniris oral orthosis
Contents of the box The principle Snoring is due to a relaxation of tissues in the pharynx. Thus causing a narrowing of the air passage and snoring. Moving the lower jaw forward frees up the passage of air and limits or eliminates snoring. Sleep apnea can also be linked to this narrowing, so the orthosis can partially solve this problem. It remains essential to consult a doctor who will be able to determine, using a polygraph, the number of apneas per hour that you have (with and without the orthosis). If the result is conclusive, the quality of sleep and in particular deep sleep will be improved. Adjustments and customization of the orthosis…

Nastent tube test and review (Back2sleep)
Ordered in 2020 and tested immediately, I am posting my opinion on this solution that my ENT had mentioned during one of my visits (without issuing an opinion, he had a sample in his drawer). What is the Nastent or Back2sleep solution? This solution is based on the very good idea of freeing the passage of air at the level of the respiratory tract using a tube. Indeed, as I explain in this blog, snoring is caused by vibrations in the larynx, the passage of air being restricted by the relaxation of the muscles, which causes vibrations and snoring (possibly, in plus, sleep apnea). A tube of the correct size…

Anti snoring nasal retractor review
This plastic nasal dilator is made up of 2 cones. These are interdependent and connected to each other The cones, in order to make them ‘lighter’, are not made from a block, but fanned out into circles. This improves the passage of air, and makes them more comfortable. Why a nasal retractor? Snoring comes mainly from the relaxation of the tissues at the level of mouth breathing. We tend to snore if we breathe through our mouth. The nasal retractor therefore makes it possible to put more contribution to nasal breathing. Functioning The cones make it possible to widen and take off slightly the internal nasal surface and thus to improve the flow of…
