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. 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. When the bite is off, Bakke explains, a person usually compensates by dropping the jaw down and forward, because it's more comfortable. |
