Terms 

• Anti-apnoea shield (AAS), apnoea shield, snoring shield: A shield that pulls the lower jaw forward and thereby helps to prevent the tongue from slipping backwards and clogging your airways.

• Apnoea: Respiratory arrest, respiratory pause of more than 10 seconds.

• Bite shield: A shield you get from a dentist if you press together/grind your teeth.

• CPAP: A device/breathing mask that creates an excess pressure in the upper airways and thus keeps the respiratory tract open.

• Habitual snoring: More or less regular snoring.

• Hypopnea: Reduced airflow by at least 50% for more than 10 seconds.

• Mouth breathing: Most people who snore breathe through their mouths. The tongue falls backwards and impedes airflow.
