ZQuiet Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece Single Pack, Size 1, Clear

PLEASE for your own sake, read to the end of this review. While this device doesn't work, there is a completely free method that is VERY easy to do at the end of this. No gimmick, no videos to watch, no specific products to buy (you very well might not need anything at all other than what you sleep on at home already, just a certain technique to stop snoring). Just a fellow snorer helping you out. To start, this product here is like a children's gag toy. It has absolutely nothing on it to attach it to your teeth. You put it in your mouth, and move your jaw around even the slightest bit, it falls right out. It even uncomfortably jams the corners against your gums as it moves out of place as well. The ONLY way this could be the slightest bit useful is if you used this in conjunction with a chin strap, to keep you from opening your mouth at all. But then, that defies the whole point of it being able to open and close. You might as well buy one where the top and bottom are just secured to each other. They do have a "Zquiet advance" mouthguard that is decent. Works MUCH better than this thing, FAR better. Only problem with that one is if you're a mouth-breather when you sleep (which most people that snore are), if you open your mouth too much with this device, your jaw will swivel back, and it won't help at all. No idea why they designed it the way they did (the arm attachment for the top should be towards the front, and the arm for the bottom should be towards the back of the bottom guard). Again, it's a good idea to use this one with a chin strap as well if you know you tend to open your mouth while sleeping. Sadly, with how hit or miss these types of things are, this is one of the two best ones I found to date. There's two swivel ones like this that have the right idea, but both of them have the same issue when they swivel back (and allow the lower jaw to swivel all the way back, closing off the airway). ------- *** One other note - this overall technique works VERY well for me, although it won't work so well for those that move around in their sleep. Use a device like this, but also, get a wedge pillow (about a 7.5" one to elevate your entire upper body; helps keep the tongue from falling back into the throat), and then a memory foam pillow to place on top of the wedge (for head/neck support). The reason I suggest a memory foam pillow is because of the steep edges on the sides. What you want to do is lay on your side, and turn your head slightly downward off the edge of the pillow. It takes some getting used to, and you might drool at first until you get the angle just right. One thing that I saw suggested that helps is to hold a pillow between your arms/legs. It causes your body to lean into it, thereby naturally causing your head to tilt downward a bit. By tilting your head slightly downwards like that, when your tongue relaxes, it falls towards the front of your throat, thereby preventing it from blocking your airway. Since I started doing this, for the first time ever, I have absolutely NO snoring at night at all anymore. Recorded three nights straight - not even a slight snore once. It was so quiet I thought it might not even be recording, until I heard myself get up at night to go to the bathroom (I would say I'm getting up and going to the bathroom, so that I wouldn't wonder if it was noise I was making while sleeping). Those were the only times I ever even made a peep, and I used to snore so loud the whole house could hear me. So again, mouthguard to push it forward, 7.5" pillow wedge, memory foam pillow, and sleep on your side with the head tilted slightly downward off the edge of the pillow.

I was told that I get no sleep because I snore all night. I wanted to try something but had little expectation that this would work. But I read the reviews with results from a snore app and thought it was worth a try. I also chose it because it is made in the USA. The first night I used it my lower gums were a bit sore and irritated. So I skipped 2 days and used it again. It was better that night and my husband said I snored very little. I was traveling and used it intermittently. When I got home I used the app to see if there was really a difference. The first night I used only a nose strip. You can see how much snoring there was. The next night I used the mouthpiece and you can see on the chart almost no snoring. The following night I thought the app had failed but it recorded all night and there was no snoring. I am amazed at the difference and will continue to use this every night. It does take some getting used to, but it is well worth it. My suggestions are to warm it well in warm water before use. If it irritates your gums skip a day or 2. Either my mouth got used to it or it adapted to my mouth. You may get dry lips so use some product for that. This is a product I will continue to use. Update- it may not effect everyone the same way, but it began to move my teeth and my bite changed so I stopped using it. But it was helping a lot with snoring.

I ordered Size 1 to try out the product, but was sent a Size 2. There's a big difference in these sizes and this is a non returnable item. I was very frustrated by this. After many failed attempts to get this resolved I asked for a refund, which I received. I then ordered it again. This time I received the correct item. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea which requires a CPAP. Even with a CPAP I have trouble breathing at night when I'm suffering from a head cold or sinus infection. That's why I tried this device. This product seems to work. Though, I was only able to tolerate it for about 4 hours. As you will find with several of the reviews it can be a little painful on your teeth. It will take some time to get used to. This will not replace my CPAP. But it will certainly help when I have a cold or sinus infection. I'd really like to see them create a size "0" - a device that holds the top front teeth directly over the bottom front teeth. That would keep the lower jaw from falling back and may not be quite as uncomfortable. Size 2 pulls the lower jaw forward 6mm and is very uncomfortable. Size 1 pulls the jaw forward 2mm and is tolerable for a few hours at a time. For me a Size 0 would keep the jaw more comfortably and naturally positioned. Also, sleeping in a reclined position of about 45° alleviated some of the discomfort the device places on the teeth.

I was immediately a bit peeved when I opened the box and realized I had paid $40 for ten cents worth of plastic, but told myself that “it will be worth it if it works”. It doesn’t work. The only way it could possibly work is if I could sleep with my jaws clenched together. The moment I fall asleep my jaws relax and this thing is now loose in my mouth, waking me up. So I guess in a way it does prevent snoring by keeping me awake all night. Then when I decided to return it I discovered that it is not returnable. So I lost $40 and a night’s sleep. I am annoyed that I even have to give it one star to post this review. Save your money.

If you have a smaller mouth, this mouthpiece is too big. Very uncomfortable.

I’ve been trying plenty of alternatives to decrease my annoying snoring. I think I’m driving my boyfriend to his wits end listening to me at night lol. I tried nose strips and nasal expander, the uncomfortable pillow (which is also actually helpful), and another mouth guard. The other mouth guard was effective when on, but highly uncomfortable and when I took it off my teeth would ache and my jaw would pop around for a little while which made me a little nervous. I looked a lot and like the appeal of the Zquiet not forcing my jaw open. I did think perhaps that would make it be less effective but it hasn’t thus far been. I put it in about 10-15min before I go to sleep. I do have to take it out 1-2x before I fall asleep to swallow the initial increased saliva in my mouth. I can move my jaw open and closed, and the guard is labeled ‘upper’ for those of us whom can’t always figure out the obvious. I use a snore app just to torture myself when I wake up by listening to how I slept and how much I snored. The 1st time I wore it the majority of my sleep, then woke up a couple hours before my alarm went off and took it out. I noticed on my app that the whole time it was in it didn’t pick up any snoring, then the snoring it did pick up after I took it out was decreased. I work night shift so on my work week I think I sleep a little harder and I’ve only had this a few days, all happen to be after I’ve been on shift. I see that as long as it’s in my snoring is either stopped or extremely decreased, but it seems I find it easy in my sleep to remove it as well. My teeth haven’t been sore at all with this one. My jaw has been a little sore and ‘loose’ feeling right when I take it out, but no where as bad as with my SnoreRX. Overall I feel like this may be a good solution for me, maybe not a miracle answer, but a great help!! I recommend it :)

This is the second one of these I've bought for my husband, and I think it's safe to say we'll keep re-purchasing them forever. From day 1 it was clear that this was a game changer. His snoring was 98% gone, and has been for the past year. We can both tell when he doesn't wear it - I'm kept up at night, and he doesn't sleep as soundly. Sure, it's not the most comfortable thing - his teeth took a while to get used to it (the front ones are a little crooked, so don't fit perfectly in the mold) - but it's far better than other, more rigid models he tried. ZQuiet recommends replacing these retainers every 6-12 months, and we found that after about a year, his snoring was starting to slip back in here and there. The hinges do wear out somewhat, so it's a good idea to replace the device periodically. We got a great deal on Black Friday and will probably buy again around the same time next year. Highly recommend, especially with their return policy - you have nothing to lose, and potentially a lifetime of better sleep to gain!

I didn't want to give this product 1 star, but a choice had to be selected. It gets a 0 from me and my husband. It was painful, it did not work and we gave it a full week. My jaw did not adjust to it and only became more sore over time, same for my husband. My teeth also hurt and felt as though shifting had taken place for both of us as well. I decided to return this item after a fair trial. However, I was suddenly stressed that in small print it says the item is non-returnable. I am on a tight medical budget and was upset I had made the purchase after researching it's effectiveness and understanding that it was created by dentist. It does say 'non-returnable' because Amazon cannot take a used mouth appliance back. Amazon, however, was wonderful and fully refunded my purchase. They apologized for the inconvenience and any confusion in the word 'non-returnable' - again, that doesn't mean non-refundable. I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Vince who was outstanding. I will in the future always check this carefully going forward. This is a product default, not Amazon's fault! Thank you and good luck to those of you dealing with trying to repair your health issues caused by snoring.

Worked for about 10 days until it stopped fitting properly. The mouth piece has already lost its shape. Expected more for the price and hype

Moves jaw forward. By far the mist comfortably fitting. But the weight of your jaw rests against your front teeth which causes pain
