ZQuiet Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece 2-Size Starter Pack - Trial Offer

Snoring noise is caused by the soft tissue in your throat collapsing and creating turbulence as you breathe at night.  The most effective snoring devices are mouthpieces that address this root cause by moving the lower jaw forward to open the airway.  These mouthpieces can be made by a dental sleep specialist and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.  There are also over-the-counter versions, such as ZQuiet snoring solutions, that are cleared by the FDA for this purpose.

Trina Webster: At ZQuiet we tried just about every single mouthpiece out there on the market to treat snoring and so people ask us all the time, “come on really, which mouthpiece is the most effective to treat snoring”? And the answer is; it depends on 3 variables. The first is “does it work”? because it has to work. The second is, is it comfortable enough to wear all night and that can be personal, and the last is has it been proven safe and effective. So with regard to the first question, “does it work”? - the good news is whether you are buying a mouthpiece over the counter or you are working with a dentist for a custom fitted device, which can be quite expensive, they all use the same principle which is moving that lower jaw forward to open up the airway and that stops the snoring. (If it does then) it's probably going to work. The Second question is really the biggest one and that is; is it comfortable enough to wear all night and depends on a few things. Boil-and-bite devices tend to be bulky because they have 2 layers of material that you have to boil and then stick it in your mouth. Some, like ZQuiet, are not boil-and-bite but, the benefit is use it right out of the box and it’s really thin and pliable and flexible, less of a mouthful, and then custom devices tend to be somewhere in between. Regardless of what you decide is more comfortable for you, side effects do happen with mouthpieces. You can expect to wear it during the day until you are comfortable enough to wear it at night. And make sure that you know that an adjustment period is normal no matter what so, prepare for that and stick with it because it will work. And the last thing I would say is, before you purchase a mouthpiece to treat snoring make sure it’s been proven safe and effective. You don’t want to put something in your mouth that you don’t know what it’s made out of or where it came from. So look for a product that is made by a reputable brand, that is cleared by the FDA because to meet that burden the company has to show that the material is safe enough to have in your mouth all night long, and the product has been proven safe and effective. Hopefully, this information will help you on your journey to finding some quiet nights.

Multiple studies have shown that anti snoring mouth guards are at least 85% effective for people who use them. Mouthpieces are one of the best snoring solutions that actually work to treat the root cause of snoring. Beyond treating snoring, anti snoring mouthpieces also open the airway allowing for greater oxygen intake which improves the health of the user and the quality of sleep for both the snorer and anyone sleeping near them.

Sleep apnea is a more serious condition than simple snoring and should be managed by a qualified professional. Depending on the severity of the apnea, an anti snoring device for sleep apnea may be recommended for mild to moderate cases, or for people who cannot tolerate the use of a CPAP machine. Insurance sometimes covers the cost of a custom sleep apnea mouthpiece, but people often find over-the-counter mouthpieces, such as ZQuiet, to be less expensive and just as effective as a simple fix for snoring and sleep apnea. Always discuss your condition and the best solution with a qualified specialist.

There are some dentists who are trained to alleviate snoring by fitting an anti snoring dental appliance. A custom dental mouthpiece to stop snoring from a dentist, along with the office visits, can cost several hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but they are usually the most effective snoring devices. Many opt for an over-the-counter mouthpiece like ZQuiet which uses the same technology as the custom device and is also FDA-cleared, but costs a fraction of the price.

While there is technically no cure for snoring, there are ways to stop snoring permanently without medical intervention. Worn nightly, an anti-snoring mouthpiece, such as ZQuiet, is one of the best snoring solutions that actually works because it moves the lower jaw forward to naturally open the airway, which treats the root cause of the snoring noise caused by the soft tissue in your throat collapsing and creating turbulence as you breathe.

The best snoring solutions are devices which address the root source of the snoring noise caused by the soft tissue in your throat collapsing and creating turbulence as you breathe. Oral appliances, also known as an anti snoring mouthpiece, do this very effectively by moving the jaw forward to keep the airway open. There are other types of snoring aids which can be used in addition to a mouthpiece or as an alternative, such as snoring solutions that open the nasal passages to increase airflow and positional therapy to prevent sleeping on the back where snoring is most common.
