SMARTGUARD ANTI-SNORE DEVICE

How does SmartGuard® Anti-Snore Device work?

SmartGuard® Anti-Snore Device is a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) which means the device gently holds the lower jaw (mandible) forward when you relax your jaw, keeping the airway open when you sleep and helps to increase airflow.

How is SmartGuard® different than other OTC devices?

The patent pending design allows you to mold the upper and lower tray independently and adjusts to your unique arch width, as well as your teeth, for a professional custom fit. The trays are connected via the Advancement Bars which hold the lower jaw forward. This unique design keeps the trays firmly in place even when you relax your jaw and open your mouth while you sleep, allowing for maximum air flow and comfort.

If you have an under-bite, start with bar 4 or 5.  If you don’t experience a reduction in snoring, move to the next longer bar and try it for a few nights.
