Upon recieving the mouth guard I molded it as instructed and it molded to my mouth/teeth perfectly! Just like any mouth guard/retainers, it takes some getting used to. The first week, there was an increase of drooling…sorry to be gross, but gotta be honest…and I removed the mouth guard in the middle of the night because it just felt overwhelming. I continued to wear it because my husband said it was working! After a week or 2 the drooling stopped and it no longer feels overwhelming!
I love this product and highly recommend you give it a try over any other product being sold. I’m planning on buying at least 2 more so I’ll never be without it!

I think one of the key things is making sure you get a good fit with it. And that takes a little effort. Basically, the mouthpiece is plastic that softens considerably around the boiling point of water. Once you soften it, you put it in your mouth and need to make sure of the following
1) Your bottom teeth are aligned with your top teeth (and be careful not to push the bottom teeth in front of the front, or you will put too much strain on your jaw joint when wearing it)
2) You make sure there is a tight grip on the front and back of the teeth (read the instructions on that first).
It took me two tries. The setup is a little clumsy. They give you a Popsicle stick to hold the device with while it’s in the water and it also forms a breathing hole in the device after it’s removed. The problem is that you need to hold the device in boiling water, and the stick is basically coming straight out from the front. So you have to hold it at an angle to get it in the water. Too steep an angle and it will slide off, since it softens in the hot water. Then you’ve got some problems since if it’s in the water too long, the whole thing softens too much and the hole for the stick closes up as well. This happened to me the first time, and I had to reheat it again, force the stick through, then reheat again to get it softened enough for fitting.
However, once that’s done, and you get a good fit, it’s reasonably comfortable. It’s better than a dental appliance I had about 10 years ago that was $300. If you’ve never worn one before, it is somewhat uncomfortable, but unfortunately, that’s just the price you have to pay to treat snoring effectively. CPAP isn’t exactly comfortable either!
Comment on November 7, 2010 08:30 pmFor the price, I thought what the heck I would give it a try. After two out-patient surgical procedures and trying to sleep on the funky pillow that is suppose to help, this was my last hope of something that would work. I am so glad I did because I do not snore with this device. When I get up in the morning my mouth does feel a little weird, but in order to sleep with my wife again, this device is well worth it.
Comment on February 22, 2011 04:38 amI was scheduled for surgery to relieve snoring, but decided to try this device on the off chance it might work. The instructions were extremely clear, and the device was comfortable from the first night. My wife reported that my snoring stopped immediately, and has not returned with continued use. Increased salivation is a minor problem, but I keep the device in without difficulty. I am also able to sleep through the night for the first time in years. I use it with the nasal spreader, which allows me to breath through my nose for the first time in years and is also very comfortable. For the cost, I think it is worth a try for any adult who meets the criteria for using it. I cancelled my surgery.
