M2 Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece

Yes, mouthguards can help reduce snoring. Mouthguards like the Somnofit-S are mandibular advancement devices (MADs), meaning they physically push the tongue and lower jaw forward to widen your airway. This decreases the vibrations that can cause snoring when the airway is narrower.

No, anti-snoring mouthpieces are not necessarily bad for your teeth, but you may experience some discomfort – especially after using the mouthpiece for an extended period of time. Complications that can occur include changes to your bite, tooth movement, and jaw soreness. People with loose teeth or dental implants should not use an anti-snoring mouthpiece without approval from their dentist.

Yes, mouthpieces can reduce snoring caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Mouthpieces like the ApneaRx are mandibular advancement devices (MADs) that physically push the tongue and lower jaw forward to expand the airway and minimize the vibrations that cause snoring. However, an anti-snoring mouthpiece cannot treat OSA on its own – additional treatments such as CPAP therapy may be needed for people with this medical condition.

The best sleep apnea mouthpiece varies from sleeper to sleeper. Some people prefer mandibular advancement devices (MADs) that physically push the jaw forward, though these mouthpieces can cause jaw pain and stiffness. Others feel more comfortable using tongue-retaining devices (TRDs) that hold the tongue in place without advancing the jaw, but most of these mouthpieces cannot be customized and they can restrict breathing through the mouth.

Ultimately, you should try an MAD and a TRD to decide which type of mouthpiece is best for you. Your doctor, and possibly your dentist, can help you determine the best options.

Yes, if you don’t achieve a proper fit on the first try, simply repeat the boil-and-bite process as instructed. Just be sure to follow the temperature and timing guidelines closely to avoid damaging the device. Do no mold more than twice.

Start by setting the device to 1 mm in the first week to acclimate. In subsequent weeks, gradually advance 1 mm per week until you notice reduced snoring or better morning rest — your "sweet spot." 

To adjust, hold the upper tray over the “PUSH” label, apply gentle pressure, and slide the lower tray forward or backward; it will lock into place once released. Aim for just enough forward movement so your tongue doesn’t block your airway when you’re fully relaxed at night.

Most users find the M2 comfortable, especially after a short adjustment period. However, because the device gently moves the jaw forward, some people may initially experience mild discomfort, usually in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) just in front of the ears. This typically fades with regular use. 

Other temporary effects can include excess saliva or slight tooth sensitivity, which also tend to improve over time. In rare cases, long-term use may lead to minor tooth movement or bite changes. Regular check-ins with your dentist can help monitor and manage any changes early.

If the M2 is working effectively, you should notice a reduction—or complete stop—in snoring. If you're using it for sleep apnea, you may also experience improvements in daytime alertness, reduced fatigue, and better overall sleep quality. 

For a more definitive assessment, your doctor may recommend a follow-up sleep study while wearing the device. If the study shows improvement in your sleep apnea, continued nightly use is encouraged. If not, your doctor may suggest alternative treatments, such as CPAP therapy.
