Snoreeze Oral Device

Dachte ich probier mal eine Schiene, Anpassung geht so ein bisschen. Beim Tragen ist mein Mund bereits so weit offen, dass das Tragegefühl eher unzumutbar ist. Idee gut, passt aber nicht wirklich.

I have always had mixed emotions about these devices as I have used them in the past doing my marriage to keep my wife happy. They have always never fitted very well or became too uncomfortable to wear for any extended period of time. To be clear these were from a different manufacturer. Now, after my new partner also started complaining of my snoring, I thought it’d give them another try. What a difference. These just work and become more comfortable the longer you wear them. For the past few years I have always had problems with aching joints and sometimes pins and needles in arms and feet in the morning. Not using this mouth guard, this is no longer the case. I am waking more refreshed and awake with more energy. My girlfriend also says my snoring has all but stopped too. After reading up on a it a bit more, I have discovered that oxygen deprivation can cause these symptoms I had been experiencing. My snoring must have limited my breathing through the night. I am so happy I got these although they are a little pricey and I hope they get cheaper or the manufacture offer some sort of subscription for repeat orders as these do not last forever.

I chose this device as it is hinged, and I found my last anti snore mouth guard would detach from my teeth when I opened my mouth, and would stop working as my jaw would slip backward again. This device held promise, seemed easy to fit, although the adjustment was a bit fiddly, and took me a few attempts to fit the guard. All seemed good, until I tried to sleeping it. First, it's quite narrow and my tongue would touch the guard at the back of my mouth, making me hypersalivate and gag it took a lot of relaxation effort to try not gag. Next as it is narrow, and despite all the effort to get a good fit, the stiff plastic had returned to its original position, and squeezed my teeth. It made my teeth ache within minutes. I tried to return the item, but was told its not refundable. A very poor experience on my part.

This let's you breath through your mouth. That's what you absolutely want. I bought others that just had a small hole for breathing. You're not supposed to breathe through your mouth, you're supposed to breath through your nose. BUT what if you have a blocked up nose or stuffy nose during the night. Then you rely on the small breathing hole. And you're asleep, so your tongue can easily just touch the hole and you'll have no air coming in. So I didn't even dare try the other ones with the small holes due to my stuffy nose. This one has exactly as much room as you normally have to breath. A full opening, no small holes. You can even eat and drink through. Obviously don't. But you can. Now I'm worried about fitting these. The whole process can be daunting. Sometimes with glues you have to heat up. And normally you have one chance. One opportunity to do it right when it sets. Not this, this was a doddle. Heat it up, wear it (not immediately like the manual says unless you want boiled teeth. Then take it out and cool it off. Done. And its perf3ct. I've used it and it works fine except for one small problem. When you wear it your top teeth slip out. This is because your jaw is pulling it back. It won't slip off entirely, but to the point where its almost off. Don't panic just go with it. It won't come off entirely, its not easy even when you're removing it. Unless you're lucky and it just fits perfect. But for me, that happened. Last thing, this is not worth 30 quid. It's like a 10 quid device. If you can find one cheaper get it. But the only reason this is different is because it opens with your mouth so you can breath. So if you ha e a stuffy nose get this. It's your only choice.

Reviewed after 4 months of use, purchased, arrived on the 10th of October. Very good quality, just follow the instructions for a good fit. Initially this worked 100% and to be fair extremely effective in putting a stop to my snoring. This will vary person to person and depending on the main cause of your snoring but it working for me. The instruction booklet helpfully highlights that it will take some getting used to, some discomfort with jaw or teeth might occur, you might produce a lot of saliva initially etc. I am a bit on a nighttime teeth grinder and over time I have loosened the teeth mould inserts which can not be purchased separately. One thing I have noticed over the time is the shape of the device is very square and has a sharp/rough edge at the back of the device and it can feel quite sharp on the tongue, especially towards the back where you have less room the hard surface to the Snoreeze that keeps it shape and I found this to make your tongue a bit sore, but when you read this review try and push the back edges outward before you set your bite. Despite this down side of the design I would recommend this anti snore device it's slimline compared with some and has lasted the longest for me, the only device that has lasted longer was a sports mouth guard - But this doesn't stop or calm your snoring.
