FAQ

Does it work?
Emphatically, Yes!! There are many so-called solutions to snoring, but for almost all people, snoring is caused by a physical closing up of your airway due to your lower jaw relaxing when you fall asleep. This leads to air being forced through your airway making the characteristic snoring noise. SnoreMender keeps your jaw forwards, preventing this closing up and stopping you snoring. Less than 3% of SnoreMender customers use the guarantee and return their SnoreMender!

Is SnoreMender comfortable?
Yes! For the first week or two you will need to adjust to the device as it can cause some dryness of mouth, and also in some cases it will cause slight aching of the jaw. After that you will not notice the device, except for the smiles on your partners face!

Does it need fitting?
In nearly all cases no fitting is required - just use it exactly as provided. For a small number of cases you may need to mould the device slightly to fit (see our Instructions page).

Can I use SnoreMender with dentures?
Sometimes. With partial dentures, as long as you wear them at night, you can often use SnoreMender. Please contact us before purchasing to assess your specific case.

Does SnoreMender prevent grinding teeth?
Yes!

How do I store my SnoreMender?
The golden rule is that you must clean and store your SnoreMender folded flat in the supplied storage box. This ensures it retains its springiness.

How long does a SnoreMender last?
There is no exact time - it depends on how you use and store it. Typically a SnoreMender lasts about a year, and sometimes two years, before it needs replacing. You can tell when it needs replacing as it will gradually lose its effectiveness. Even if you replace it every year, it will still cost under 14p per day!

Will a Jaw Advancement Device help with Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea (or sleep apnea) is not snoring - sleep apnoea is when a person stops breathing temporarily while sleeping. This is a medical condition that you should consult your doctor about. However, in some cases, a Jaw Advancement Device can assist sufferers of mild sleep apnoea as snoring can be the precursor to sleep apnoea.

Can I breathe through my mouth when wearing a SnoreMender?
Yes! Unlike some devices, SnoreMender lets you breathe completely naturally, through your mouth and nose. We recommend you do not buy any device that restricts breathing through your mouth.

Can I open and close my mouth and speak wearing one?
Again,Yes! SnoreMender is hinged to allow your mouth to open and close naturally, making it extremely comfortable to wear, and allowing you to speak while wearing it. Opening and closing your mouth while sleeping is a natural process your body needs, for example to allow swallowing, and any snoring solution must allow this to happen.

Can a non-surgical solution stop snoring?
Yes! While there is no doubt that surgery can stop snoring in most cases, it is a very radical and irreversible step to take. SnoreMender is a safe alternative that achieves the same effect as soft palate surgical adjustment, in a non-invasive way. 

Is it safe?
Absolutely Yes! Some people may worry about swallowing the device - this is physically impossible as it is a single piece moulding designed to fit over your teeth and is far larger than your throat.

How can I persuade my partner to use it?
Our advice is to be gentle and point out that a small initial discomfort for the snorer is much less than the continual debilitating effect of sleepless nights on the person being kept awake. A well rested person makes for far better company, so it is in the snorers interest to make sure their partner can sleep. Also if you have reached the 'separate rooms' stage or 'daren't go away' stage, using SnoreMender can transform the situation!
