Description
The Tomed SomnoGuard® 3 is a one-piece mandibular advancement device designed to reduce snoring and help manage mild to moderate OSA. Worn during sleep, it gently holds the lower jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway open, improving airflow.
This boil-and-bite device is made from medically safe, hypoallergenic thermoplastic that softens in hot water and moulds to your bite for a secure, custom fit. For best results, we strongly recommend having the device fitted by a healthcare professional (such as a dentist, ENT specialist, or sleep physician), although it can be fitted at home.
The Tomed SomnoGuard® 3 fits most jaw sizes due to its flexible material. It’s generally well tolerated, though some users may experience mild, temporary side effects like excess saliva or slight morning discomfort. The instructions for use include all potential side effects.
The material contains no allergens, latex, silicone, BPA, or phthalates. The typical lifespan of the product is 6-12 months, though heavy jaw movement or teeth grinding (bruxism) may shorten this.
Please note: Unobstructed nasal breathing is required to use this product. Consult your dentist if you have concerns about your teeth or jaw alignment before using, or your doctor if you have concerns about your snoring or OSA.

Snoring and mild to moderate OSA often occur when the airway becomes narrowed or blocked during sleep. This can happen when the muscles in the throat relax, causing the tongue and soft tissues to fall back and restrict airflow.
The Tomed SomnoGuard® 3 is designed to gently hold the lower jaw and tongue in a slightly forward position. This helps open the upper airway and stabilise the soft tissues in the throat, including the soft palate and uvula, which are responsible for the vibrations that cause snoring.
By improving airflow and reducing obstructions, the Tomed SomnoGuard® 3 can help reduce snoring by limiting tissue vibrations and support more regular nighttime breathing in cases of mild to moderate OSA.
Please note: Due to hygiene reasons, fitted or used devices cannot be returned, so refunds aren’t possible if fitted incorrectly.
For best results, we strongly recommend having the device fitted by a healthcare professional (such as a dentist, ENT specialist, or sleep physician).
However, we understand some users may choose to fit the device themselves. If you do, please refer to the detailed instructions provided for a step-by-step guide on how to mould the device. You can also watch the fitting video for additional guidance.
The Tomed SomnoGuard® 3 uses the boil-and-bite method, where the thermoplastic material softens in hot water and hardens to fit your teeth and jaw position once cooled.
The fitting process takes about 15 minutes and involves the following steps:
- Heat the device in hot water for 20 seconds.
- Bite into the softened material with your lower jaw slightly forward.
- Cool the device in cold water to harden it and set the shape.
What is a mandibular advancement device?
A mandibular advancement device is a type of mouthpiece worn while you sleep. It works by gently moving your lower jaw forward, helping to keep your airway open. This can reduce snoring and is often recommended to support symptoms of mild to moderate OSA.
You may have also heard mandibular advancement devices (often abbreviated to MADs) called a mandibular advancement splint, mandibular repositioning device, or even a mandibular device for snoring – but these are all just different names for the same type of oral device.
What’s the difference between a mandibular advancement device and a mouth guard?
Although they can look similar, a mandibular advancement device is specifically designed to reposition the jaw and improve airflow. A regular mouth guard, used for sports or teeth grinding, doesn’t move the jaw forward and won’t usually help with snoring.
People often search for terms like mandibular mouth guard, MAD mouth guard, or snoring mouth guard when what they’re actually looking for is a mandibular advancement device – the correct type of oral appliance for reducing snoring and easing the symptoms of mild to moderate OSA.
Do mandibular advancement devices really work?
Many people find that a mandibular advancement device helps to reduce snoring, though results can differ from person to person. Clinical studies indicate they can be effective. They’re also recognised within the NHS as a treatment option for snoring and for some cases of mild to moderate OSA.
Are mandibular advancement devices comfortable?
Like any oral appliance, a mandibular advancement device can take a little time to get used to. Adjustable or custom-fit designs usually provide the best comfort for long-term use.

Tomed Somno Guard 3
I was advised by a Sleep Consultant that this device would help with sleep apnea which he found I had. I receved the item very quickly, but was concerned that it seemed too complicated for me to fit it myself. I contacted a Dental technician and he thought it was unsuitable for me as I had small mouth. He suggested I return the product which I did and very quickly received a rebate, so I realise the company works efficiently and are trustworthy, but am unable to comment on using the device.
Tomed SomnoGuard 3 - well worth the money
I’m very pleased with this product, but not half as much as my wife is! I apparently haven’t snored since I started using it! Following the instructions to mould it to my mouth was very straightforward and took next to no time at all. Using the item each night is no problem, I just pop it in my mouth as I settle down in bed and have had no problem with comfort or disruption and got used to it very quickly. I didn’t research getting this until my wife was getting quite cross – if I’d known it was getting that bad I would have done it sooner!
Tomed somnoGaurd 3
I bought this after doing the online questions and reading the reviews. I was a bit sceptical that it would work as I have tried other remedies in the past. However I am delighted and surprised to report that I have not snored since the first night I used it.I do find that it rubs my gums during the night (perhaps I have not fitted it right) and they do feel very tender in the morning almost with ridges on them. I am hoping that this will ease as the product actually does what it says on the tin and stops you snoring, much to my partner and my delight.I have marked it a 7 only because my gums are sore but for effectiveness i would rate it a 10.
Peace at last!
As the situation had become intolerable for my partner, I finally took the simple online Interactive Snore Test. This recommended the Tomed SomnoGuard 3 as a solution. Having undertaken a little research on the success of the product and based upon what I considered a reasonable price, I decided to purchase. When it arrived (as advised), the moulding process was simple and I was ready to give it a try that night. It takes a little time to become comfortable sleeping with this oral device but it is worth persevering. From the first night my loud and constant snoring has completely stopped! I also think that I am getting a better quality of sleep. Let’s hope it continues!!
