How to Fit
Fitment of an Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece in 5 easy steps.
The SnoreMeds™ pack includes molding instructions which are quick and easy-to-follow. The SnoreMeds™ mouthpiece is an oral appliance generally worn at night. The mouthpiece works as a splint by positioning and holding the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. By doing this, the respiratory tract is opened, which enables air to flow unobstructed through the breathing passage enabling the patient to breathe more freely and prevent snoring.
Step 1 | Begin Fitment
- A clear surface to boil the water
- A kettle or a pot to boil water
- A deep mug to submerge the snoring mouthpiece
- A timing device which can measure in seconds
- A mirror to practice the fitting
Step 2 | Prepare fitting
- Check the snoring mouthpiece is facing upwards
- Insert the fitment spatula firmly into the holes
- Practice in front of the mirror inserting the mouthpiece
- Move your lower jaw forward a fraction
- Practise doing this a few times
Step 3 | Prepare to Mold
- Pour the boiling water into the mug
- Place into boiling water for 18 seconds
- The mouthpiece will appear clear and the material soft
- Prepare in front of a mirror for positioning
- The process is fast so your preparation is important
Step 4 | Fitting the Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece

- Bring your upper jaw down carefully into position
- Make sure your teeth are inside the outer walls
- Move your lower jaw forward by 3-4mm and bite down
- Use both index fingers to press the mouthpiece to create a tight fit
Step 5 | Rinse the Snoring Mouthpiece and Use
