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.

Quite an expensive piece of plastic, but it seems to work to a degree
Quite an expensive piece of plastic, but it seems to work to a degree, so over a year quite cost effective.
Not What I Expected
The process you go through to find the right product is excellent and at the end of the question process I was happy to buy the product. It certainly is not a low cost solution, but knowing how my snoring disturbs others I was willing to pay.The product arrived after 5 days and I opened it up. It resembles a mouth guard that a boxer would wear and before I did anything I decided to read the instructions several time. The first thing that struck me was a very clear statement that the device should be fitted by a professional, not something I recall being advised before I bought the product. You can do it yourself but there is a much lower chance of success if you do this. Everything depends on the position of the jaw, and although there is a diagram, I am not sure I know what the correct position actually is. Fitting the device involves heating it up and then putting into mouth and biting down to create a good fit. I have tried the device a couple of times to practice, but it is huge and fills my mouth. It actually makes me gag so how I am supposed to sleep with this monstrosity in my mouth is beyond me. It will cure my snoring by preventing any comfort at all. So with no confidence in fitting the product, its physical size and discomfort means I think I wasted my money an it sits in its box, unfitted. As I have opened the packet I now can’t return it, so in summary, unless you have a huge mouth, and access to a professional fitting service as advised in the instructions, avoid this product.
Excellent Product
Excellent product. Better than other products I have tested.
Saved my relationship
Great piece of equipment. Comfortable to wear and sleep in. Measured my snoring with snore lab, and it went from a snore score of 16 to 3 immediately.
It works but I killed it - be careful
.The product is fantastic. My wife now gets a decent night’s sleep for the first time in years. She no longer has to kick me, which is a bonus.I have used one for a couple of months but stupidly thought that I could make it fit rather better. I wish I hadn’;t tried this because it is very easy to overheat it and ruin it. You must be very careful on the timing when you fit it. Use the stopwatch function on your phone – it’s that sensitive to being heated for too long.I am really pleased and I have bought a replacement today.
