SnoreMender FAQ - General Questions
Does it work?
Emphatically, Yes!! There are many so-called solutions to snoring, but for almost all people, snoring is caused by a physical closing up of your airway due to your lower jaw relaxing when you fall asleep. This leads to air being forced through your airway making the characteristic snoring noise. SnoreMender keeps your jaw forwards, preventing this closing up and stopping you snoring. Less than 3% of SnoreMender customers use the guarantee and return their SnoreMender!
How can I persuade my partner to use it?
Our advice is to be gentle and point out that a small initial discomfort for the snorer is much less than the continual debilitating effect of sleepless nights on the person being kept awake. A well rested person makes for far better company, so it is in the snorers interest to make sure their partner can sleep. Also if you have reached the 'separate rooms' stage or 'daren't go away' stage, using SnoreMender can transform the situation!
Can a non-surgical solution stop snoring?
Yes! While there is no doubt that surgery can stop snoring in many cases, it is a very radical and irreversible step to take, and the success rates of surgery are believed to be under 50%. SnoreMender is a safe alternative that achieves the same effect as soft palate surgical adjustment, in a non-invasive way.
Is SnoreMender comfortable?
Yes! For the first few weeks you will need to adjust to the device as it can cause some dryness of mouth, and also it will cause some jaw and tooth ache. After that you will not notice the device, except for the smiles on your partners face!
Can I use SnoreMender with dentures?
Sometimes. With partial dentures, as long as you wear them at night, you can often use SnoreMender. Please contact us before purchasing to assess your specific case.
Does SnoreMender protect against grinding teeth / bruxism?
Yes!
Will a Jaw Advancement Device help with Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is not snoring - sleep apnea is when a person stops breathing temporarily while sleeping. This is a medical condition that you should consult your doctor about. However, in many cases, a Jaw Advancement Device can assist sufferers of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
