Best Snoring Mouthpieces by Brand

MAD — Mandibular Adjustment Device. These mouthpieces work to keep the lower jaw from sliding back, allowing air to pass freely through your airway without creating a harsh vibration. TSD — Tongue Stabilizing Device. These mouthpieces keep the tongue positioned at the front of the mouth, rather than repositioning the lower jaw. The most common TSD design is commonly referred to as a Tongue Retention Device (TRD).
