We recommend that you wear Snore Guard for 1-2 hours during the day for 2 days to become accustomed to the device before wearing it overnight. During the adjustment period (the first 1-2 weeks), some people have minor teeth, jaw or gum discomfort. This would be comparable to wearing braces for the first time. This discomfort is perfectly normal and will diminish as you become accustomed to the device. Snore Guard should not be used if it causes sharp, severe or prolonged pain to the teeth, jaw or gums.
It is quick and simple to perfectly fit your Snore Guard. Warm the device with boiling water and shape it to your mouth. Detailed instructions and pictures are included with every Snore Guard to answer any questions you will have as you fit the device.
For best results, it is recommended that you replace your Snore Guard every 3-6 months.
