Adjustable Mouthpieces
Stop-snoring mouthpieces help quiet snoring by positioning your jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. The most popular type of mouthpiece is a mandibular advancement device (MAD). These devices slightly shift your lower jaw forward, holding it in place while you sleep, to keep your tongue clear of the back of your throat while maintaining a clear airway.
The Mandibular Advancement Device - A popular choice
ZQuiet offers two leading MAD options:
- ZQuiet Comfort, which comes ready to use with two pre-set advancement levels (2mm and 6mm).
- ZQuiet Advance, which provides four adjustable settings for a customizable fit and enhanced tongue support.
These options stand out for their simplicity, flexibility, and comfort, making ZQuiet a trusted choice for effective snoring relief.
Adjustable MADs
Having the ability to adjust the settings on your stop-snoring mouthpiece can significantly improve the fit of your device and your comfort. Most MADs are adjustable in some way, with many offering 2-3 basic settings to select from, which determine how far forward your jaw shifts while the device is in use.
Effective adjustable snoring mouthpieces should be easy to set and stay securely in place. Common sizes for adjustment settings vary, most often between 2 mm and 6 mm. Most mouthpieces have specific measurement choices to pick from, rather than allowing you to slide between a range of options.
However, adjustments can be limited if using a boil-and-bite device. These often lock your setting into place after completing the boil-and-bite process. If you accidentally complete the process with the wrong adjustment setting on your mouthpiece, or your needs change over time, you may be left with an ill-fitting device you need to repurchase. Redoing the boil-and-bite process may work, but it may weaken the mouthpiece setting over time.
To combat these issues, ZQuiet offers innovative solutions:
- ZQuiet Comfort: Comes with two pre-set options, Comfort Level 1 (2mm) and Comfort Level 2 (6mm), eliminating the need for boiling or molding. Simply choose the fit that works best for you and enjoy a quiet night’s sleep.
- ZQuiet Advance: Features four adjustable settings to ensure precision and a perfect fit. Its durable exterior and soft interior provide comfort and adaptability for straight or crooked teeth, along with enhanced tongue support for even greater effectiveness. This model is a boil and mold, hinged-style mouthpiece that provides 4 incremental levels of advancement by swapping out different length straps that connect the upper and lower mouthpiece parts.
By offering these alternatives, ZQuiet eliminates the hassle of boil-and-bite customization, allowing you to find the right fit quickly and easily.
Easing into the Perfect Fit
Most medical professionals recommend starting with the smallest jaw adjustment and only increasing it if needed. Advancing the jaw too far too fast can sometimes cause jaw pain, such as TMJ. Both ZQuiet Comfort and Advance follow this approach, providing gradual adjustment options that allow you to fine-tune your fit without discomfort.
The ZQuiet Advance takes this a step further with its customizable features, offering unmatched flexibility for users seeking a precise and comfortable fit. Whether you're a first-time user or looking for a refined solution, ZQuiet's adjustable designs help you ease into the perfect fit while prioritizing comfort.
