We do not recommend any stop snoring mouthpieces. They are only useful in a few cases. There are simply more effective ways to stop snoring then stop snoring mouthpieces. Below are the stop snoring methods we recommend.
One thing that you will notice when you start researching mouthpieces is that there are so many different ones to choose from. Most stop snoring mouthpieces work by pushing the lower jaw forward while you are sleeping. By doing this, the airways are supposed to stay open while you are asleep, but sometimes that doesn’t always work. Other mouthpieces work by forcing you to breathe through your nose rather than your mouth, which is more for people who snore due to being overweight. No matter how the stop snoring mouthpiece works one of the biggest problems with them is they are uncomfortable to wear, especially all night.
Something else to think about with a stop snoring mouthpiece is how much they cost versus how long the last. These mouthpieces are not made to last forever, how long they actually last will depend on the different manufacturers because of how they are made and what materials were used when making them. One problem with these mouthpieces is that some of them are more comfortable than others, but you won’t know what ones are comfortable until you try them out. Therefore, you might end up having to buy four different mouthpieces until you find the one that you like. Most stop snoring mouthpieces last around nine months, but some can last longer. The average cost for one of these mouthpieces is around $60. Therefore, if you have to replace the mouthpiece every nine months you are looking at spending around $120 a year to help prevent yourself from snoring.
One claim that many stop snoring mouthpieces make is that they will train your tongue to stay in a specific position while sleeping. While it is true that your tongues position can affect your snoring at night a mouthpiece won’t be able to train it to stay in the correct position. Your tongue is a muscle and the only way to train your muscles properly is to exercise them.

I have tried a lot of mouthpieces and I have to agree. In addition they are very uncomfortable to sleep with.
Hi:
I used to have a mouthpiece for TMJ problems that a dentist had made for me. It’s total cost was $10,000.00. We had insurance to help cover it at the time, however I lost it on vacation and no longer had insurance to help cover a replacement. The mouthpiece did stop my snoring because I wore it at night and it helped my tongue to stay in the right position. It no longer dropped down but stayed in the roof of my mouth thus eliminating my snoring. Do you have such a device available. Thanks in advance for your advice
Hello Sharon,
You can take a look here Mouthpieces.
They wont be as good as the $10,000 mouthpiece you used but maybe it will work for you. We generally don’t recommend mouthpieces as we have found other methods to be more effective.
