Description
The Somni Snore Guard Mouthpiece is designed for people who snore with their mouth open and wish to stop snoring. It is a discrete, convenient and low cost treatment for mouth breathing and the effects of snoring and bad breath. Somni Snore Guard is moulded in hot water by the user to a comfortable fit. It is completely unobtrusive and can easily be used in an aeroplane, train, etc. At least one clear nasal airway is essential as breathing through the mouth is effectively blocked by this device.
Published clinical trials have demonstrated the success of this device and since we first introduced it to our customers over 10 years ago, it has become a truly indispensable product.
Pack contents: 1 mouthpiece, 1 container, fitting instructions.
The device is made of FDA and European Standards food grade EVA.
Read Carefully: Review the instructions thoroughly before starting the fitting process.
- Prepare: Work in front of a mirror and ensure your nasal passages are clear.
- Practice Placement: Practice placing the Snore Guard in your mouth with the holes facing down and the tag positioned between your teeth. Don’t worry if it feels bulky; it will shrink to fit.
- Heat and Soften: Mix 3 cups of boiling water with 2 cups of cold tap water in a bowl. Immerse the Snore Guard in the mixture for 20–30 seconds until it becomes soft.
- Mold to Fit: Quickly transfer the softened Snore Guard to your mouth. Gently clench the tag between your teeth and close your lips over the device. Suck your lips and cheeks onto the guard while pressing the tag against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Hold this position for 60 seconds.
- Check Fit: Rinse the Snore Guard in cold water, then return it to your mouth to check the fit. Your lips should close comfortably with only a slight sensation of pressure.
The consequences of mouth breathing at night are often bad breath (halitosis) and snoring, both of which are undesirable and unpleasant for others.
- Halitosis is caused by decaying bacteria located on the tongue, palate and areas between the teeth. The effect of decay is enhanced when you breathe through your mouth at night, as an open mouth leads to loss of moisture on the tongue and palate and also allows unpleasant odour to escape; ‘morning breath’.
- In addition to mouth breathing, the intake of certain foods, drink, and drugs are known to cause a dry mouth and halitosis. Onion and garlic, for example, contain high concentrations of sulphur that pass through the lining of the intestines into the blood-stream and are subsequently released into the lungs and exhaled; ‘garlic breath’.
- Similarly, proteins in dairy products break down in the mouth leading to the release of amino acids that are rich in sulphur; ‘eggy breath’.
- Alcoholic drinks decrease saliva production resulting in a dry mouth and consequent bad breath. Smoking raises the concentration of volatile compounds in the mouth and lungs and because it too has a drying effect on the oral mucosa, the unpleasant smell of smoke is not only exhaled from the lungs but is also present in the mouth.
- Certain drugs such as antidepressants and antihistamines predispose to dry mouth leading to halitosis.

find out your cause
Purely my own fault, I didn’t look into the shape of my airway before purchasing this, and it does nothing for my snoring because its the wrong intervention for me, so my advice is, look at your own airway configuration and buy a product that will suit the reason for your snoring. Do your homework!
Seems to work
Although a simple looking item, it does seem to work very well indeed, no more nudging from my partner. At first it seems a bit ‘alien’ to have a guard in your mouth, but it is surprising just how quickly you get used to it. If you have any trouble ‘shrinking’; the guard to fit, there is an excellent video on YouTube which is very good indeed and I had no problems at all. If you are someone who tends to sleep with their mouth open give this a go. My only negative is that at £30 this seems a bit steep because at the end of the day it is simply a piece of mouldable plastic which given the numbers produced must cost pennies to manufacture.
Works great
I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. I need to keep my mouth shut for the machine to be effective. I purchased the Somni Snore Guard as a means of keeping my mouth shut in my sleep without the aching discomfort of a chin strap. It works great, is more comfortable than a chin strap and has relieved all of my jaw pain!
This didn't help me.
Whilst the guard remained in my mouth and was comfortable to wear it didn’t solve my snoring problem. It was worth the try but I had 100% success with another product.
Snoring Device
I have been using, for the past eight years, a Mandibular Advancement Device. My jaw was always painful the following morning. It was a cure for my snoring and my slight sleep apnoea which the consultant told me I had after undergoing a sleep clinic. My throat was also always dry the following day. I recently tried the vestibular shield and that removed the painful jaw. I have been told that I have TMD. I sleep better now thanks to the oral vestibular.
