   I recently had to go through an entire medical rat race just to try and replace mouthpiece made years ago to help with snoring and slight apnea. The process to have your medical insurance pay for a special mouth piece is going to: 1. Your general Family Doctor = Typical co-pay of $15 dollars2. Who then has to send you to the ENT Specialist = Co pay was $80.003.WHo then has to send you to have a sleep study = $150.004. To send you to a Medical Dentist who makes the mouthpiece and wanted to charge me $6000 but would be priced through my insurance to about half of that amount. I laughed and walked out of the office.I ordered this mouth piece and have been pleased with the fit and functionality.

   Con: The only thing I had to do is use some scissors to cut away exos material hitting the inside of my mouth after molding. Then reheat to soften the sharp areas left from cutting.
   I would recommend purchasing and if you have aslight apnea you can save lots of time and money by using this product. Ask your ENT specialist if you can take the sleep test using this mouthpiece to see if it yields better results.

   Like me , if you don't know whats causing your snoring (could be many things), just buy this mouth guard and cross lower jaw falling back off the list, for 30 bucks its a no brainierI tried the nose things, chin strap and side sleeping-and finally this thing, it worked right out of the box, after fitting.

   -make sure you listen to the recordings and x out the things that the app picks up that are not snoring (dog barking, farting, planes etc), it good to quantify and track whats working
   2. Be sure to get a good fit, you dont want to bite as hard as you can when fitting, as it will squish all the molding away.
   3. The instructions are a little poor on how much to adjust, you want to have your lower jaw in line or in front of your upper, start low and work up-check your snore score on the app
   4. If your lower jaw is a bit sore, i guess its to be expected, but you can back off the adjustment for more comfort, but your snore score may increase, as mine did
   
   I had a small issue with mine, and the customer service was prompt and resolved my issue!
   If it works you can get a professional one made by a dentist, but I would start with this before spending big bucks.

   I’ve used this for 2-3 months so far. Best value for the money for a sleep oral appliance — I always wondered why they were so expensive, and now my suspicions are confirmed, that the price was as high as they could get away with! I’ve tried over a dozen different brands of oral appliances for bruxism and snoring, even spent a couple grand at a sleep dentist. None of those devices were able to replace my CPAP. My CPAP, in turn, does not totally eliminate my grinding. This ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece works well with my CPAP so that I don’t wake up with bite wounds inside my cheeks, plus my AI number is consistent lower than without the device. A FEW TIPS: 1) My teeth feel better in the morning if I use Vaseline on the part that contacts my teeth. 2) If you use a CPAP and the air tends to blow out between your teeth, I found it easy to get used to closing the breathing holes with my tongue. I use Vaseline there too, to keep my tongue from drying out. The device is thick enough t...More

I use Vaseline there too, to keep my tongue from drying out. The device is thick enough that is difficult to close my lips over it. 3) I clean it with foaming antibacterial hand soap and soak it in diluted mouthwash a few times a week. If you use Vaseline on it, wipe that off with tissue before washing. 4) Part of the softer part has come a bit loose from the harder center part. It still is mostly attached and works perfectly well. 5) If your lips are dry in the morning, Vaseline is the answer again, simply put a good amount on your lips at bedtime. REQUEST TO MANUFACTURERS: Include how long to keep in the hot water for fitting. And please, please, keep this at the rational low price. It is so much appreciated. Thank you for a good, affordable product!

   I've tried several mouthguards over the years, but this one seems to be the best I've used in both comfort and reduced snoring. It's a bit expensive compared with some models, but it is worth it in the long run. Here are my observations:Moulding process: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! The included printed instructions fail to mention how long to leave it in the hot water, but both the video and the description on ZComfort say 60-90 seconds. I used 80. Make the small investment of time to watch the video to avoid mistakes that WILL affect fit, comfort, and performance. Although it seems large at first, if moulded properly, it will be quite comfortable compared with other brands.Adjustment: I like the fact that you can move the bottom plate forward, if necessary, but don't overdue it. I recently did that on one that didn't mould perfectly to see if I could make it more effective. My wife said I was snoring more with that guard than any previous moulds. The problem is that ...More

I recently did that on one that didn't mould perfectly to see if I could make it more effective. My wife said I was snoring more with that guard than any previous moulds. The problem is that if your jaw starts to ache while you sleep, you drop your teeth out of the bottom and defeat the purpose of the mouthguard entirely. I just got a fresh new guard and got a better mould. It works much better.Longevity: I recently moulded my 7th mouthguard in 4 years, so I would plan on about 6 months per guard. $75 per year to reduce snoring and get my wife back in bed with me is a good investment.Comfort: Better than any other mouthguard I've used.Snoring reduction. Works most of the time for me.Bottom line. I still think this is one of the best on the market and worth the price. I often recommend it to friends who struggle with snoring.

   Absolutely do not pass this up if you’re looking to quiet a loud snorer!! My husband had a Cpap machine and hated it, so it was returned. And let me tell you this man can saw some serious logs!!! While the dr had said he could try a mouthpiece, theirs are very expensive and take forever to get made. In the mean time we both suffered miserably trying to figure out a solution. I was sleeping on the couch and was still being woken up by his amazing performances throughout the night with the door closed! It was really beginning to wear on our relationship. We were both exhausted from lack of sleep. Irritable from being exhausted and my he was obviously upset by my complaints. We were both upset we were sleeping in separate places.

No. But it eliminated 90-95% of it, and the gaping mouth, loud, choking himself awake every 15 seconds snores have almost completely stopped. Do I still occasionally have to say “babe, roll on your side”? Yes. But compared to how it was? I’ll take a few blips on the radar. He’s more rested and has more energy, no longer falling asleep as soon as he sits down. I’m back in bed sleeping soundly, no longer exhausted by his constant noise. It’s a win win! His only complaints have been that he drools with it in and it did make his teeth sore the first few nights. Other than that, he is floored that this has worked so well. We will definitely be keeping this bad boy at all times. And hey, it’s soooo much easier to travel with too!! No plugs, no lugging big equipment around. Just pop it in the case it comes with and toss it in your bag, done!

   The short version: works great, well worth the money, nice travel case, easy to figure out, no need for CPAP machine, feel rested.Long version: My doctor told me I needed an oral appliance. The doctors that offer oral appliances are not plentiful and the wait list can be months (I called 3 until I found one that could get me in within a month). None of these doctors were in-network. I went to an oral surgeon and they told me the cost would be $5,000 out-of-pocket after insurance. That didn't include the MRI and X-rays that they wanted me to get first and they wanted an additional sleep study. It was cheaper for me to get a surgery than to get the oral appliance from the oral surgeon. They explained to me what all would be done.Not willing to pay that kind of cash I turned to ZComfort. I found this mouth piece. It was less than 1% of the cost of what the doctor wanted me to get. It essentially does the same thing and had good reviews.

I found this mouth piece. It was less than 1% of the cost of what the doctor wanted me to get. It essentially does the same thing and had good reviews. I didn't have to go to a bunch of doctor appointments and wait weeks for the appointments. Where do I sign up?!?!? I figured even if it didn't work it was worth a shot. I'm so glad I did.When I was reading the instructions they were nearly identical to what the oral surgeon was going to do. The difference, instead of going to the doctor to have it regularly adjusted, you adjust it yourself. It literally takes a fraction of a second! Just slowly work your way up to where you need to be. I no longer need to get the surgery either (something with shaving off part of the base of my tongue). I find my sleep is better than it is with my CPAP. I've even used both at the same time... better yet!Your teeth will feel weird, especially at first. You get used to it. When they don't feel weird, that's when you know it's time to adjust it. I saw some comments that people had sore jaws. I did not experience that. I'd imagine they just needed to make the adjustments more gradually. You do have to clean it daily. You will notice as soon as you put it in your mouth if you didn't clean it.What I don't care for: it does make me drool on my pillow on rare occasion when my allergies are buggin'. Still is better than having a CPAP mask on my face. Nothing says unsexy like a giant CPAP mask!Added bonus: I travel a lot for work, carrying this instead of a CPAP is amazingly better. Lighter luggage, more room in my bag. I have TSA Pre-Check so I didn't have to take my CPAP out but if you don't have pre-check or pre-check is closed you have to take out your CPAP at security and put your CPAP in those dirty bins. Not with this mouthpiece. Just sayin' is all.

   I have been snoring bad for 2 years which has been causing my wife sleepless nights. I have been in pursuit of investigating and treating the cause of my snoring for years. Based on my research and observation, I have finally assessed that my overjet/overbite is causing my lower jaw to fall back towards my throat, narrowing the passageway and obstructing my breathing whenever I am sleeping.I have tried the following with occasional to no sucess: side sleeping, upper mouth guard, nose dilator, tonge stabilizing device and different pillows.When I was able to observe that my overjet/overbite might have been causing restriction in my breathing (especially since i prefer sleeping on my back), I had to give mandibular adjustment device such as ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece a try.Presetting/molding was like any other mouthguard i have tried.

   I have been snoring bad for 2 years which has been causing my wife sleepless nights. I have been in pursuit of investigating and treating the cause of my snoring for years.

It was easy to follow directions on youtube though I wish I did it in front of a mirror to get a better fit and initial bite. After few days of use, the snoring was completely eliminated. It is evident in the screenshot of the SnoreLab app. The screenshot with yellow bars was my regular snoring recording while the screenshot with no bars is my current recording with no snoring.Cons:1. The mouth guard is quite large and thick. It makes my jaw open up wide. Hopefully I can adjust to the mild discomfort and get used to it.2. Since the main objective of the device is to keep the lower jaw from falling back, the mouth guard grips the teeth of the lower jaw to serve this purpose. I personally found some of my tooth aching mildly when I woke up. I am not sure if this can be resolved with properly fitting the mouth guard as i fitted my mouth guard without a mirror.Note to snorers:It is quite a journey investigating the cause of your snoring. I suggest looking at the mirror and investingating your bite. If you have an overjet/over bite, try to observe if your jaw movement is causing obstruction on your passageway. If this is the case, this product will help.Overall, I am quite happy with the product. It's worth the try.

   I have slept with this for two nights now. My BF spent the night both nights and stated that I didn't snore at all either night. He said my snoring didn't bother him at night, but I seem to remember him nudging me a few times at night. Our relationship is still fairly new, so I don't want to annoy him. I tried this, and he said there was no snoring at all from the first night I used it.Molding the device is easy, and the directions are correct.

   I adjusted mine forward just one notch from the devices factory set position. That was enough to completely eliminate my snoring. When I wake up, my mouth and throat are dry, and my teeth and jaw are sore, but that soreness subsides throughout the day. When I first put the device on at night, it's very comfortable, and it's easy to fall asleep with it in. I love that there are large breathing openings made into the device.
   
   Overall, this is a great product, and I'd definitely buy this again. I travel a lot, so I'll probably grab another one to keep in my suitcase.

   I bought this and eventually was able to use it instead of a CPAP. Actually, I was forced to use it because my CPAP died on me and I didn't want to buy another one for around a $1000. I thought about having a custom mouth piece made and that was going to be around $1100 and it was going to take several weeks to be made. So instead of "rushing" to buy one of those or another CPAP, I thought why not pay around $30 for one of these and see if it works. I read quite of few reviews that were positive, which can sometimes can be misleading but I saw enough "good" reviews to give it a shot. Besides, I was between a rock and a hard place and this device seems to be able to solve my particular problem of snoring! Also, keep in mind, I barely needed a CPAP(minimum times waking per hour, I think it was 6-8 times per hour).

Also, keep in mind, I barely needed a CPAP(minimum times waking per hour, I think it was 6-8 times per hour). What's more concerning for me is that I would sometimes wake up choking.
   
   Once I got the mouthpiece molded, I tried sleeping with it on the default setting. You want to do this because your teeth and jaw may hurt for a few days while getting adjusted to it. One of the issues I have is sometimes waking up choking. While on the default setting, I experienced this and moved the lower part of the mouth piece out 1 mm. I experienced the choking on this setting but eventually got settled on the 2mm setting. That's a good thing because I tried going to 3mm and it was too much stress on my jaw.
   
   Another thing that is helpful is if you are married or you have a snoring app that can give you feedback. My wife is my middle of the night device to wake me and keep track of when I snore. She says that on the 2mm setting she does not hear me snore which is a very positive thing.
   
   I want to say I get a fantastic sleep every night but that's not exactly true. I think my sleep is better. Definitely better than on the CPAP. I felt that the CPAP kept me awake more than without one. The mask will eventually leak and I'd always feel tired and sleepy everyday. The main thing for me is that I don't snore and I haven't been awakened to gasping for air!
   
   Another issue I have is that my teeth hurt. This is partly because of the way I molded the device. My teeth were so snug in the device that repetitive movement of my mouth during the night would cause teeth pain. I try to not move my mouth to avoid this. I've re-molded the device and it is better. Also, in the morning you may feel that your jaw is still pulled forward and that your teeth may incorrectly line up. This goes away eventually through the day, but don't be surprised if you feel this discomfort everyday. Everyone is different, so take my experience for what it's worth.

   Several years ago I paid $2,500 for a professionally made appliance to replace my CPAP. At the time, it was worth it. It worked great, and I no longer needed the CPAP. Over time, that appliance got chewed by my dog and broke in half several times. By the end, everything was literally held together by super glue, the adjustments know longer worked, and it had got out of alignment so my teeth no longer stayed in place at night. I noticed I started experiencing sleep apnea symptoms again (mental fog, being tired during the day, waking up multiple times each night), so I decided it was time to look for a replacement. I called the doctor who made the original device, but his office never called me back. Turns out that was very lucky for me. I decided to spend $20 to try the ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece.

In short, my apnea is licked again, and for 1/100th of the cost. I’m enjoying a good quality of life again, for which I am really grateful. I had doubts it would work, but no more. It works great. If you need a new appliance, I can tell you this one is working great for me.

   I was told I have sleep apnea, and would need to pay $1800 for a mandibular adjustment device. I have student loans to pay, so I searched for a generic one online. I found this mouthpiece on ZComfort and ordered it. It came in a small, neat box. The box contained the mouthpiece, instructions, a storage case, and a little spatula. I used the microwave to heat water and molded the mouthpiece. I had to mold it twice because I have a slight overbite, but it fit very well and I was able to re-mold it with ease. It even fit around my lower permanent retainer.The first night it made my jaw a little sore, but I noticed my sleep quality had improved slightly. I believe the jaw soreness was from biting down on the mouthpiece, because I have had no problems with jaw soreness since. I have it on a pretty low setting due to the shape of my mouth, but it is very easy to adjust and is relatively comfortable.

I took it off in my sleep the second night, but have had no problems with it coming out or dislodging on its own. I'm pretty used to it now and it stays in all night.The only con is that it causes me to drool quite a bit because I cannot fully close my lips around the mouthpiece. Again, this might be because I have a small mouth/overbite and sleep on my side or stomach. I am able to swallow fine, i just happen to drool in my sleep because my mouth is partially open. I am unable to talk once the mouthpiece is in, but I put it in right before going to bed and not being able to talk is not an issue.Now that I have been using the mouthpiece consistently, I have noticed a huge improvement in my sleep quality and I am waking up less at night. I have no jaw soreness or tooth pain from the device, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to try an alternative to a CPAP.

   I seen a specialist about my sleep apnea, because I wake up with a headache frequently, put 2 and 2 together when I did some low oxygen training with the Fire Department I am on, I got the same headache (obviously not breathing properly at night). Specialist wanted a CT to make sure I didn't have a brain tumor even though he stated I have no symptoms of one he'd just like to rule it out(because headaches, are always brain tumors). Even with insurance its not FREE to get a CT..($300) and what is the best case scenario I'm tumor free and I wear a CPAP machine the rest of my life.. No thank you..

   I seen a specialist about my sleep apnea, because I wake up with a headache frequently, put 2 and 2 together when I did some low oxygen training with the Fire Department I am on, I got the same headache (obviously not breathing properly at night). Specialist wanted a CT to make sure I didn't have a brain tumor even though he stated I have no symptoms of one he'd just like to rule it out(because headaches, are always brain tumors). Even with insurance its not FREE to get a CT..($300) and what is the best case scenario I'm tumor free and I wear a CPAP machine the rest of my life.. No thank you.. Been wearing this for a month and been headache free.. my wife says I no longer snore, and to hell with wearing a CPAP machine if I don't have to.. I did waste $200 with my co-pay on seeing that quack though. This thing is amazing, your teeth will hurt, and it might throw your bite off for a couple hours till your jaw stretches out a bit, but if you suffer from debilitating headaches from apnea like I did.. anything is better then that (except maybe wearing a cpap.. that sounds terrible) I can't promise it will work for you, but it seriously did for me.. I rarely believe in stuff like this, but it is just one of those things that actually does work for some people.. I will be honest they give you a free mouthguard if you leave a positive review for them.. But if it didn't work why the hell would I leave them a positive review to get a free second moutguard that doesn't work. Ive watched quite a bit of youtube videos and the design on this one with the adjustable underbite makes the most sense. This mouthguard goes by a couple different brands I've had two different ones (my dog ate one) but they both were identical and came with the same directions from the same company.

   I have fairly serious sleep apnea. Before I got my first mouthpiece 10 years ago my tests showed that I would stop breathing 58 times an hour. This basically prevented me from getting restful sleep and for years I lived the life of a walking zombie. When I finally got the issue addressed, the solution for me was a mouthpiece that moved my soft palette away from my throat by positioning my lower jaw forward. That mouthpiece was custom fitted to my mouth over the course of a half dozen visits and cost me just over a thousand dollars.5 years later that mouthpiece broke and I had to get a new appliance from a different location in a different state. Rather than just trusting the design of the old one, they had me go through the whole process again. Multiple visits and several hundred dollars later I again had a functioning mouthpiece, although this one had an adjustment knob that stuck out the from and caused me to drool like nobodies business.Last month that appliance cracked and I ...More

Rather than just trusting the design of the old one, they had me go through the whole process again. Multiple visits and several hundred dollars later I again had a functioning mouthpiece, although this one had an adjustment knob that stuck out the from and caused me to drool like nobodies business.Last month that appliance cracked and I thought... here we go again. Although this time I thought I'd try something different. I had seen some commercials for over the counter sleep apnea mouth guards and I thought, hell, why not give it a try. I figured the worst thing that could happen would be a lost night sleep.Anyway, as is typical the package was thrown onto my doorstep a couple days later and I gave it a test run.So the first thing worth mentioning is that is works a lot like a sports mouthpiece. I'd played football and boxed before and the process was very similar. Dunk in hot water, bit down, let cool, done. For adjusting the protrusion distance I just held it up to my cracked appliance and eyeballed it. At this point, I should probably warn people who have never worn a sleep apnea mouthpiece before, it takes a while to gain the flexibility to extend your lower jaw significantly without discomfort. If you can't afford a proper sleep clinic first, you should look into the stretches and movements you need to do to gain the flexibility without damaging your bite. As I said, I'd been wearing one for 10 years so I just stretched it way out there and give it a full test the first night.So enough background, on to the actual review. First of all, it doesn't have an adjustable bit angle in the vertical direction. Some people gain a lot of airway space by having that verticality so for them, this may not be ideal. Second, the fit will be a little loose if you are used to a custom fit job. I found the first couple of nights I experience some tooth discomfort in the morning I assume it was because of the looseness. After a couple of days, however, I found it went away. Next, it should be noted that its pretty darn easy to adjust although its clear font on clear plastic so it's not something you're going to be able to do at 3 am in the dark, so try it out before you go to bed so you get it adjusted right. How does it clean? Well, so far I've been really pleased. I've had it several weeks now without it picking up any unpleasant odors or tastes, which is more than I could say about my last one.But let's get down to what really matters. Does it work and what kind of value are you getting? Well, while I haven't taken a formal sleep study since getting the new appliance, I can say that I am absolutely feeling rested. At this point, I've been on enough trips where I forgot my mouthpiece to know when I don't have one. Next, it cost me literally 1/10th the cost. Seriously, at that price, all it has to do is last 6 months and is already a better value than my previous ones. Best of all, because it lets me close my lips over the front, I don't drool anymore.This is absolutely worth trying. As the title says, this product works so well that I am mad. Mad about all the time and money I spent on those previous mouthpieces. Don't get me wrong, I would pay 100x more money for a good night sleep if that was my only option, but having something this effective and affordable is just a godsend.

   arrived on time, no problem with packaging- I read all the other reviews before I purchased this mouthpiece. I was concerned that I might not be able to get used to it and that it would be hard to mold to my teeth and also hard to adjust the lower jar piece forward. I followed the instructions carefully , watched the online molding instruction video which was recommended in the instructions that came with it. The molding process went easily enough. I was careful about each step and took nothing for granted. Success on first try. Okay but would I be able to sleep with this thing in my mouth? I read that it would take time to get used to. I had no problem with it being too big, seems about exactly the right size for me. I planned to sleep with it in for half of the first night. That worked okay. I can say that as a week of trial nights went by each got easier. In fact after years of worrying about grinding my teeth I found it comforting to have it in place.

I'm grateful that I didn't spring for having my dentist make one.
   I'm giving it 5 stars because the device met all of the maker's claims. The device seems to well manufactured and thought out. The instructions were coherent and included good diagrams. As other reviews mentioned the lettering that says Upper and Lower is hard to see, but is okay no issue, having been warned in the other reviews. The adjustments numbers are also hard to see but also okay. And my eyes aren't that great either. I would make this suggestion, when you adjust the lower jaw part of the mouth piece forward to correct your sleep, measure the distance of the relationship of the jaws from the back edge. If the lower jaw is about 1/16" offset in the factory position and you want to move it a little bit it might measure 1/8" or 3/16" after you move it. Each 1/16" increment change would be about 1.5 mm adjustment. Personally I wanted to get used to it in my mouth while sleeping with no offset or pushing on my lower jaw. I'm taking a baby steps approach. My next step will be adjusting it the least amount possible and get used to that.
   Bottom line, I'm glad that I got it. And my wife says snoring seems gone.

   Just like everyone with a snoring problem, you search & you search hoping to find a solution. This is only my 2nd night using it B/C I think if you were sleeping alone you wouldn't bother with annoying plastic hanging out in your mouth, but since my hot girl friend wanted to sleep in the bed last night we tried it (we been taking turns btwn couch & bed snoring is so annoying to her). 1st night I had the bottom piece too far forward and it was very uncomfortable, had to adjust it back and it became more manageable (other reviews have complaints about the adjustment markings, but I don't even bother with those I just adjust the thing forward or backward it's simple), but I did wake up time to time and notice my bottom teeth had slightly moved out of the grove, so wasn't sure if it was even working & she wasn't there to tell me so I took it out. Last night I put it in and teeth all seemed to stay where they were supposed too woke up at 6am took it out and went back to sleep, s...More

Last night I put it in and teeth all seemed to stay where they were supposed too woke up at 6am took it out and went back to sleep, she kicked me & said to put it back in ;) so it really works! Not many downsides to the company or product when it works I suppose only thing I can think of is that the web link they give you in the packaging doesn't take you to a molding instruction video like they say it should, so I just read some other reviews people talking about how they molded it (Boil, 70 seconds, run just a little cold water over it so u don't burn yourself, put it in your mouth & bite down , let it cool...it's simple really). Yeah it takes some getting use to having a hunk of plastic in your mouth, but I have had no problem falling asleep and I'm pretty sure I'll get used to it being there after several back to back uses. Bottom-line it worked for me as advertised, good luck!

   From what I can gather thru extensive research on this, this mouthpiece is just as good as the ones made by your dentist. and incredibly cheaper! At the very least I'd suggest trying this for a month first. It is important to get a good mold. Boil water, then place this in for 90 seconds, then pukl out with tongs and dip in cool water for 3 seconds, place in mouth and bit hard - press around the outside of your face too to "shrink" or mold the outside as well - especially if your mouth is small. I've worn this for five nights now. A face strap may be a good idea if you adjust it to the more extreme levels - just to keep yourself from spitting it out overnight. It HAS gotten easier to wear each night - I'm guessing it will take a full 2 weeks to become second nature. IT is amazing how much more air I have at night with this even though initially it seems like I almost have my mouth closed. It's nice to not constantly wake up when I finally relax enough that my tongue falls back ...More

IT is amazing how much more air I have at night with this even though initially it seems like I almost have my mouth closed. It's nice to not constantly wake up when I finally relax enough that my tongue falls back and blocks my airway. This does not "hold" your tongue, but the position of your jaw with the bottom teeth moved slightly forward does seem to naturally not allow it to fall back or relax into your airway. There is some slight dry mouth, but that too has decreased a lot after five days. Oh - to help i hold, put in only when it and your teeth are mostly dry - tends to slide around less. And apply chapstick heavily after it is positioned - this really decreases the feeling of dry mouth and the want to swallow and wet my teeth. Thank you! PS The instructions indicate you can remold it three times if the fit is not firm.

   I've had some snoring issues for a few years now and my wife had finally had it (can't blame her) so I began what seems like an endless search for the right remedy. In a nutshell, I've tried the supposed "top three" mouthpieces out there with varying results, none of which were pleasant and/or solved the problem. Each of the ones I tried were either ill-fitting, poorly designed, or left my teeth screaming the morning after from poor fit and function...now I was the one up half the night, tossing and turning in the dark with aching teeth, an abnormal jaw pull and drooling all over myself. Miserable.I decided to give it another try and bought the ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece with some steep optimism after research and scouring the reviews. The long and short of it is this is THE BEST product out there.

Miserable.I decided to give it another try and bought the ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece with some steep optimism after research and scouring the reviews. The long and short of it is this is THE BEST product out there. Hands down.THE DESIGN:The design of this mouthpiece is thoroughly detailed and the function is perfect, with levels of adjustability even after forming it. It is definitely NOT some molded, cheesy piece of junk to squeeze into your mouth.MOLDING IT:Molding it was quick and simple and the molding material is very robust and adequate so that your teeth fit squarely within the soft mold, not up against the hard plastic edges. Overall, the trays for your teeth are more than adequate while not being too big or uncomfortable. PRO TIP....when you mold it to your teeth, don't bite down on it like you're trying to bite through a piece of granite; apply even pressure and depth slowly, so that you get a comfortable, natural fit. I've made the mistake with others and once you bite down too far, that stuff doesn't bounce back...you're stuck and it won't fit right or naturally. They all say they can be re-molded a second time if you screw it up, but if you take care the first time, it will fit great and not lose it's form and feel sloppy.SO HOW WAS IT?Last night was the first night with it and all I have to say is....INCREDIBLE. It not only fit perfectly and naturally, but the excellent design and function of this device allowed me to comfortably wear it all night, fall asleep with no issue whatsoever and not a single bit of drool or other effects/discomfort. The best and most important part of all....NOT. ONE. BIT. OF. SNORING. Because of this, I woke up this morning having had one of the best nights of sleep in a long, long time and my teeth didn't ache or shift one bit.I'm just one guy and my results might not be the same as everyone's but I was literally at the end of my rope with finding the right answer and the ZComfort Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece has delivered, ten-fold. If anything changes, I'll update here again but for now, I anticipate many more great nights of sleep and my wife couldn't be happier too, so win/win on that!Cheers!
