About How To Choose... A 'Mouthpiece' To Stop Snoring
There are two basic groups of mouthpieces that may help with snoring by holding your jaw forwards. The first group you can buy in shops and online, they are the so called “one-size-fits-all” type also variously known as non-custom, ‘self-fit’, ‘boil and bite’ anti-snoring mouthpieces.The second group of mouthpieces is custom-made exclusively for you by a dentist with a special interest in sleep apnoea. Be careful not to confuse custom-made with customised. There are many different types of mouthpieces, with different mechanisms to connect the two jaws and hold your lower jaw forwards.This guide does not attempt to explain everything in detail. It is intended to provide an accessible, evidence-based introduction, sufficient to help you understand HOW and WHEN to choose a mouthpiece. This starts from a medical perspective and then moves to dental… because a mouthpiece may impact upon your teeth - and your teeth (and other things) impact upon whether a mouthpiece is right for you.
