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.

Tomed SomnoGuard SP Soft
Having a partner that is super sensitive to noise during sleep, I purchased my first Tomed SomnoGuard SP Soft mandibular device in Jan 14 after having previously used the Tomed SomnoGuard AP over a space of a couple of years. Both of these products take a little bit of setting up and to getting used to but with regular use I’ve come not notice the guard when I’m sleeping. Changing to the SP Soft has made a huge difference, the device is more comfortable to use and not as fiddly to use. Personally I’d pay the extra money for the SP Soft, but both do a good job and my partner in general gets a much better nights sleep.

Very effective. I now wake up in my own bed next to my wife every morning. When I snored I had to go into the spare room most nights.
Somnoguard SP soft
Great product, really does work and extremely comfortable. Horrendous price tag though, however, it simply backfires on the sellers as I only replace it when absolutely necessary. If more reasonably priced I would definitely replace more frequently.
Not forever
I’m now on my third one of these. To be honest, I find these only effective for about a year, before the fit (even with remoulding) goes off. One way round this is to use a dot of denture fixative on either plate. It’s a bit yucky, but it does work. Like other reviewers, my partner (wife) says it’s less effective if I have a drink. It also helps if you just ‘fess up to being overweight and lose some!
Review Title
This device was a lot easier to mould than the ap soft. It fits more comfortably. The side adjustments are much more convenient than the front screw.
