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.

Excellent product
Having had an unsuccessful uvulopalatoplasty, I was very sceptical about whether the device would work or even whether I would be able to tolerate it in my mouth. However with the prospect looming of a holiday where my wife and I would have to share the same bedroom for 3 weeks, I felt I had to try something and I was recommended by the local Hospital Sleep Consultant to try a mandibular advancement device. Previous holidays had been marred by sleepless nights for both my wife and myself, but to my surprise the device was a great success and we did not have one night disturbed by my snoring. It took only a few nights to get used to having the device in my mouth and there was only minimal discomfort. I am very pleased with the result.
Tomed SomnoGuard SP Soft
I’ve been using this product for the past two weeks. Prior to this product I was using the SomnoGuard AP. It’s doing a good job so far. I hope it holds up as well as the SomnoGuard AP. It does put an end to my snoring.
Review Title
I did the snoring tests and tried the nasal dliator first but although this greatly improved my breathing it did not stop the snoring. The MAD along with the nasal dilator has effectively stopped my snoring. The device takes some getting used to. I find it quite difficult to get in place and uncomfortable for a short while but it is not stopping me from getting off to sleep and I do think that I am sleeping better with it in, which suggests that my snoring was disturbing me as well as my husband. My husband is very pleased at having a peaceful bedmate.
mouth guard sp soft
It is easy to fit the trays, it does take a while to get used to the feeling in the mouth. I still wake up finding that i have pulled it out. I am pleased as me and my husband can now finally sleep in the same bed. It does work it just takes some getting used to x
SP Soft
Does it work? Well, to be honest, I’m not sure! Took a while to get fitted properly, I think I moulded it 4 times in all, but now fits and doesn’t fall out whilst asleep. After using it for 4 weeks, I’m feeling a little more with it during the day, but I have not felt the huge change I was perhaps overly hopefull for. Docs were undecided but suggested a MAD before thinking about tonsil removal (they’re big!). Might be looking at that now.
