How does it compare with CPAP?

It is a small oral appliance with no mask, hose or machine, so it is quiet and easy to travel with. CPAP remains the stronger therapy for moderate to severe apnea, while this suits snoring and mild to moderate OSA.

How does it compare with boil-and-bite devices?

It is made from your own dental impressions rather than molded in hot water, so the fit is more precise. The connectors also let you adjust jaw position, which store-bought devices do not.

How do I set the jaw position?

The kit includes connectors from 21mm to 26mm. You swap them to move the lower jaw forward in 1mm steps until snoring is controlled and you are comfortable.

Two upper and two lower impression trays, four putties, written and video instructions, a prepaid return label, and a variety pack of six connectors.

Some users report sore gums, jaw pain or cheek irritation, mainly while adjusting. It usually eases as you get used to the appliance.

Can I use it for severe sleep apnea?

No. It is FDA-cleared for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea only. Severe OSA needs medical evaluation and usually CPAP.
