Considering the Pillar Procedure to Cure Snoring?

STOP!

Instead of the risk of removing those weaker muscles during surgery, or by pushing them aside with the Pillar Procedure, or uncomfortably dangerous devices you wear in your mouth, try exercising first.

Here's an exercise that helps to loosen your jaw - because tight or clenched jaws are considered one of the leading causes of snoring.

This exercise takes only a minute, but before you're done, you should feel your jaw muscles strengthen and the back of your mouth opening up.

Start by lining up your upper and lower molars and put them together, very lightly.
Now imagine your molars are like a hinge (similar to your door). Lower your jaw while keeping your molars together and your lips closed. Open and close your lower jaw about 20 times. See how easy they can be?

And this is just 1 of the 24 exercises we've developed to stop people from snoring. Each exercise is designed to strengthen a specific area - turning relaxed, weaker muscles that block your airways and flap like a flag, into toned, well-controlled muscles.

It's a natural, non-evasive approach to snoring!

And since snoring occurs from a combination of loose tissue and obstruction, you may need to tone, tighten and strengthen a variety of areas.

Of course, it's not necessary to do all 24 each day - but you will have to do a handful of them regularly. You'll be able to quickly narrow down the exercises that benefit you the most, and only spend 3 to 5 minutes a day doing them.
