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.

Brownie points
Despite the lengthy instructions the device proved easy to fit and assemble. It is a little bulky in the mouth and even after two weeks’ use I still have a significant ache running from each temple to the jaw and back up to the inner ear together with pain when using my molars –; but these symptoms are easing. My better half thought I had died because there has not been a peep” out of me since I began wearing my mnadibular device and this has led to her giving me a credit balance in terms of brownie points. My own sleep quality is greatly improved too and so the other discomforts and difficulties seem a small price to pay.”””

I have used the product for about 2 weeks now. I was a bit sceptical at first, but went ahead anyway. I have to say that my snoring has apparently improved a lot – much to my wife’s relief! It’s a bit uncomfortable to be honest, but I’ll stick with it. We had a good laugh when I first wore it – looked a bit like Hannibal Lecter. Bit of a passion killer, but not as much as loud snoring!! Overall a great product – highly recommended.
somnogaurd sp soft
So far so good – i have used the ‘soft’ for two weeks and it has cured my snoring and I think has reduced or cured my apnea symptoms. I will get this confirmed soon in a sleep clinic. I did find the water has to be boiling to mould it. I have found that it does stay in place – it does not seem possible to ‘spit it out’ during the night. And it is comfier than others I have tried. All in all I am very pleased.
SomnoGuard SP Soft
Have only worn the SP soft for a few days, so far so good. Am getting quite used to wearing without discomfort and am sleeping throughout the night, more importantly my other half also gets a good nights sleep. So it actually works! The moulding instructions seem quite daunting when first read but are really quite easy. Did have a problem with my first attempt because I had not got the material soft enough even though I left the tray in a bowl of boiling water for the recommended 3 1/2 minutes. I suspect the water got too cool during this time (the instructions do not say if the bowl should be kept on the boil throughout). My solution was to zap the tray in the bowl of water for 1 minute in the microwave, after that really soft and easy.
An excellent replacement to the AP
I have been using the ‘soft’ for a couple of months now and I can confirm that it is an excellent product. To be honest, I use my ‘soft’ and my AP, depending on my prediction of the severity of snoring but its great to have both, in case one breaks down.The advantage over the AP is it has less working parts and therefore less weak points. The soft is absolutely ideal for those, like me, who may find that their jaw strength bends the screw on the AP. The product is robust, easy to prepare and easy to keep clean.As a regular user of the Tomed products, I recommened this product, even if it is a spare one. May I also take this opportunity to recommend The British Snoring and Sleep Apnea Association staff, who have always been very helpful, informative and prompt in their handling of my snoring ‘curse’!
