The original SleepTight Mouthpiece was developed by US dentist, Dr. Mike Williams, member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and Paul Swann who was the chief designer and developer for the largest mouthguard company in the world, located in the UK. Dr. Williams personally suffered from a snoring problem and endured multiple surgeries to improve his snoring, all to no avail. He began looking for snoring surgery alternatives over 10 years ago.
