Description
The Tomed SomnoGuard® SP Soft is a two-piece mandibular advancement device designed to reduce snoring and help manage mild to moderate OSA. It works by gently holding the lower jaw forward during sleep to keep the airway open, using side connectors that allow millimetre-precise adjustment from -3mm to approximately 10mm.
Each jaw tray features a stable outer shell with a thermoplastic inner layer that softens in hot water and moulds to your teeth and bite for a secure, custom fit using the boil-and-bite method. 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® SP Soft is suitable for small to medium-sized jaws and is also recommended for individuals with a protruding lower jaw. It allows mouth breathing and slight mouth opening during use.
The material contains no allergens, latex, silicone, BPA, or phthalates. The typical lifespan of the product is 1½ years, though heavy jaw movement or teeth grinding (bruxism) may shorten this.
Please note: 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.

How does the Tomed SomnoGuard® SP Soft work?
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® SP Soft is worn at night and uses two side connectors to hold the lower jaw slightly forward. By advancing the jaw, the device opens the upper airway and stabilises the soft tissues, reducing their vibration and fluttering, which are responsible for snoring sounds.
The adjustable jaw advancement (from -3mm to approximately 10mm) allows you to find the optimal position to keep your airway open. This helps reduce snoring and may improve breathing during sleep by limiting airway obstruction associated with mild to moderate OSA.
How is the Tomed SomnoGuard® SP fitted?
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 carefully follow the detailed instructions included with your product.
The Tomed SomnoGuard® SP Soft uses the boil-and-bite method. Each jaw tray consists of a stable outer shell and a thermoplastic inner layer that softens in hot water and moulds to your bite when cooled.
The fitting process takes about 20 minutes and involves the following steps:
- Heat the upper and lower jaw trays in boiling water for approximately 3½ minutes.
- Carefully bite into the softened trays so the material adapts to your individual tooth shape.
- Cool both trays in cold water so the material hardens and retains your dental impressions. The fitting process can be repeated if needed (e.g., if the trays do not fit optimally).
- Attach the side connectors and adjust the lower jaw advancement to the desired position.
The lower jaw advancement is adjusted using the included side connectors, which come in a range of lengths. These connect the upper and lower trays laterally, allowing millimetre-precise forward positioning of the lower jaw, from -3mm to approximately 10mm. Greater advancement helps open the airway more effectively, which may help reduce snoring and nighttime breathing pauses.
Additional FAQs
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.

Well that's that then.
What can I say, It works. Really works. It took a little adjustment to put in the shorter stays to make my jaw protude a tad more, but the snorring stopped. As did the ear ache from she who must be . I does feel like you have half an orange in your mouth, but I soon got used to it. I did have a nose strap, chin strap and this thing in, I looked like Frankenstien, but it worked.
SomnoGuard soft
Bought the SomnoGuard soft after trying (unsuccessfully) sprays and nasal strips. Recommended by my wife’s colleague to buy the soft, and he was spot on. Snore free apart from the odd snuffle if I’ve had one glass of wine too many. Easy to fit and comfortable to wear. Just a slightly sore jaw in the first couple of weeks, but otherwise wouldn’t know it was there. Very happy wife and no more sore ribs!
Somnoguard SP Soft
I am still getting used to this product, as I find that it has aggravated a tooth problem, resulting in toothache. I shall be consulting my dentist about the fitting, as we found this quite difficult to do. I have a small bite, which might be a problem. I am using this device to cut down on snoring, and on the advice of an ENT consultant. In many ways I find it an extreme measure for such a problem, but obviously my husband suffers more from the snoring than I do, so I will try to persevere!
Snoreguard soft
What can I say. After 5 years of arguments and sleeping on the sofa. This snorguard saved my marriage. It’s amazing such a simple device can make such a difference. Ok so it took a couple of goes to get it to fit and took some getting used to at first but the benefits far outweigh the initial hassle. Not only are the wife and I sharing a bed for the first time in years but I get a decent nights sleep and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. I wish I’d bought one years ago. Thoroughly recommended.
Great improvement over the AP
I used the Somnoguard AP for a couple of years with limited success and have recently been using the Rhynil & Somnoguard SP soft. This seems to be a much better combination; the SP has stoppped the forced mouth breathing caused by the AP.
