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.

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.
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.

SP Soft
I suffer from sleep apnia and normally used a CPAP machine. I decided to try the new MAD whilst travelling to Prague. I had little difficulty forming it and although I do have teeth irregularities each piece was quite a tight fit. However, I haven’t managed to use it for more than a couple of hours sleep (although this could be beneficial). For me there appear to be two problems. The centre points of each set of teeth do not naturally line up. That places a twisting action on the straps. I also have a tendency to sleep with my mouth open. For me, what was a tight fitting on the teeth when I started sleep was very slack when I woke and the devices had parted from my teeth. I have tried the device and two nights with the same effect. I also suffered from some jaw joint pain on one side, probably due to me teeth non alignment.
Not so sure now
Having used the AP for years I thought I would give the new ‘soft’ a go. Initially it worked OK for a few months, but never quite as good as the AP. It was a bit more comfy than the AP and definitely less bulky. However, now 3 months on it no longer grips my teeth well, added to that there is and never was anything to stop the two pieces separating if your jaw relaxes and then the advancement dissapears leading to snoring.I will be going back to the AP dissapointed. My concern with the AP is that I have it adavnced a long way forwards and as such bend the screw or end up breaking the slider. Still the AP worked better overall.

I bought this for my partner as his snoring had driven us into separate rooms. We hesitated a bit because of the cost and not knowing whether it would cure his problem, but it largely has. The advice on the website as to the type of snorer you are and whether the product will help was very useful in helping us make the decision to buy. He does still snore occasionally, but non of the really loud, deep, window rattling stuff he used to do. A quick prod in the ribs shuts him up now. We have recommended it to a number of friends with spouses who snore.
It really works!!!!
After having a septoplasty operation 3 months ago, I decided to try a MAD and as the professional fitted devices can cost £1,000.00 I decided to try this device, all I can say is ‘It Works’, my snoring has stopped and my wife can now sleep at night as she was constantly being woken up and was worried all night about sleep apnoea with it’s serious health issues! The device was simple to use and of course will take some getting used to but I can’t recommend this more. Thank you….

I’m really impressed with this new MAD although perhaps it’s a bit expensive considering the lack of stainless steel in this version! I’ve used 2 of the SomnoGuard APs previously and been pleased with them both. My wife is also impressed although she said that now I purr”; a bit whereas the AP seemed to stop the snoring”””
