SnoreMeds MouthPiece Review
For most people, snoring is a common problem that may happen to most of us. However, it usually causes embarrassment and low self confidence to the one suffering from it. If you snore most of the time, you definitely don’t want to spend a night with other people, as you are afraid that they know your ‘secret’ and you are embarrassed because of it. But don’t worry; most snoring issues can be resolved with different methods or devices. One of them is by using snoremeds, a type of mouth guard (or mandibular advancement devices, the scientific term) that can help you prevent snoring and enjoy more qualified sleeping time. So, what makes this device better than the others, anyway?
Adjusting to Your Mouth’s Contour
Snoring can be caused by a lot of things, but the main issue is mostly about weak throat muscle that collapse when you are relaxed. If you have weak tongue as well, the problem can get worse. You see, when you breathe, your throat and mouth muscle will contract and relax, but when you are sleeping, most of the muscles in your body will relax, including the muscles around the mouth and throat. If they become too relaxed, not only your airway passage will be narrower, the tongue muscles will also collapse and obstruct the airway, creating annoying and constant vibrating sound.
With this mouth guard, however, your lower jaw will be gently and slightly moved forward so the throat will remain open. When it is unobstructed and open, there won’t be any vibrating sound created. And the good thing about this device is that is custom fit and made of flexible material, so you can always make adjustments easily at home – no need to go to the dentist or pay for extra expensive treatment.
How does the SnoreMeds Anti-Snoring Device Works?
View this diagram, it explains in detail how the anti-snoring device works. You can see how the airway is blocked by the soft tissue, but as soon as the anti-snore mouthpiece is in position it holds the soft pallet and tongue forward and naturally opens the airway.
Flexibility and Comfort
The company understands everyone’s preference when it comes to comfort, so they make sure that they truly create a useful device that isn’t only functional but also comfy to wear. The great thing about this mouth guard is that it is made of high quality material that is flexible and can be adjusted to your preference.

The Handy Features

Pros and Cons
Since this mouth guard truly targets the core of the issue, it is more efficient and effective. Unlike other devices – like snoring pillow or enclosed mouth guard that covers your nose – this device really helps opening up your air passage, so it won’t be enclosed when the muscles around your mouth is in relaxed state. Snoring pillow helps adjusting the position of your head, but it doesn’t focus on the core issue. Meanwhile, the enclosed mouth guard may not be for everyone as they can cause claustrophobia and sometimes panic attack to people who aren’t used with their nose being enclosed and covered.
Because of the simple usage and design, a lot of people with snoring issue like having this mouth guard around. There are a lot of reasons to love it, anyway. First of all, it is truly safe and made of high quality materials. Rumor has it that it is made of latex, because it can be easily molded, but it is made of hypoallergenic thermoplastic that is totally latex free and very safe for dental usages. Second, it is easily molded, so there is no such thing as being too big or too small. If you come to the official site, you will be able to read and follow the simple step by step of molding the mouth guard.

FDA status, BPA & Latex
When it comes to choosing a mouthpiece, there are three key points that everyone should consider – FDA status, use of BPA’s, and use of latex.
All three are important considerations that should be examined prior to making a decision.
However, keep in mind that snoring can be caused by a lot of factors, including genetics. Don’t forget that certain genetic condition as enlarged adenoids or narrow air passage can also cause snoring. If snoring happens because of genetic condition, there are no devices that can help you.
