In order to make your shopping process easier and help you find the perfect anti snoring device for your needs, we drew up a list of the top-rated mouthpieces and mouthguards. This way, you don’t have to go through hundreds of online reviews—we’ve done the job for you.

When we evaluated all these devices, we followed the same methodology for each one so we could present you with objective results. Here are the things that affected our final rating for the best anti snoring mouthpieces:

• Comfort

In order to sleep soundly and wake up rested, you need to feel comfortable during the night. That’s why we place great emphasis on the comfort of your anti snoring device. When using a certain product for the first time, and especially if it’s your first anti snoring mouthpiece, it’s normal to expect a certain level of discomfort and jaw soreness in the morning.

Since MADs pull your jaw forward, your muscles need some time to acclimate to this new position during the night. However, these problems should go away once you get used to wearing a mouthpiece, which users claim will occur with these snoring devices in their reviews.

Another important consideration is whether the anti snoring device allows you to breathe through your mouth. Some people don’t mind if they can only breathe through their nose, but if you suffer from allergies, this is a very important feature.

• Quality

The quality of the materials used is important for two major reasons. First, you’ll wear this small piece of sleep equipment in your mouth night after night. So it’s essential that you know the materials used are safe. For example, you should always check if they’re BPA-free. Also, since anti snoring mouthpieces are often considered medical devices, they should be FDA-cleared.

Second, if you’re looking for the best device to stop snoring, you want to buy a device that’s durable. Generally, the average lifespan of a mouthpiece is around one year. However, some manufacturers recommend replacing them more often, as you’d do with a toothbrush.

• Effectiveness

Of course, this is one of the most important things since the whole point of buying a new anti snoring device is to effectively get rid of those unpleasant night sounds. We tested each mouthpiece and mouthguard to check if it really helps with snoring issues. Also, we read through hundreds of snoring mouthpiece reviews. After all, we didn’t want to include any product in our list that doesn’t address the problem properly.

• Care and Maintenance

Depending on their design and the materials used, anti snoring devices require different levels of care. Some can be easily cleaned with a toothbrush and some toothpaste, while for others you’ll need to use denture tablets. Also, some devices have more areas that are hard to reach, which makes the cleaning process more difficult.

Regardless of which mouthpiece you choose, it’s vital that you keep it clean to prevent bacterial buildup. Keep in mind that bacteria can damage even the best snoring mouthpiece. So if your device isn’t properly maintained, this will eventually decrease its lifespan. In addition, this will affect your personal oral hygiene and can lead to bad breath.

• Fitting Process

We assessed this feature only for MADs since most TRDs are designed to have a universal fit and don’t require any fitting process. On the other hand, most MADs use boil-and-bite technology in order to take your teeth impression. We tried to evaluate how simple or difficult this process is by reading through a heap of anti snoring mouthpiece reviews.

Also, some MADs give you the option to adjust jaw advancement. This is definitely a plus for them since this feature increases the level of personalization and should make them more comfortable to wear. Again, some devices are easily adjusted, while for others, you need to use additional tools to get the right setting.
