Open your mouth as wide as you can, dropping your jaw down and hold for a count of three.
This device is similar to a mouth guard worn in sports, and holds the lower jaw down and forward to keep the tongue farther away from the back of the airway.
The correct position of the mouth should thus be a slight oval like the picture above, with the corners of the mouth drawn in and the jaw down.
