NEOMEN Snore Stopper, Adjustable Anti Snoring Devices, PRO 2 Prevent Bruxism & Snore Mouthpiece

I bought this as a cheaper alternative to the blue "Best Selected" version which I used for about a month before the gel bits which fit around the teeth started to come away from the main unit. I did do a largely positive review for the Best Selected version as I found it was a good product which virtually eliminated my "throat snoring". Sadly, Amazon knocked my review back as not meeting community guidelines. Since the review looked fine to me I just left it un-published.So, now to the Neomen version. This, I think, is a slightly better quality device than the Best Selected. Overall dimensions are a bit smaller but still fits my mouth shape perfectly. Range of adjustment is good (and very easy to adjust - I found the adjustment mechanism for the Best Selected very fiddly). Also, when adjusted to its extreme settings, the inside can be cleaned with a small brush. As far as initial fitment goes, this was straightforwardly done by soaking the unit in very hot water for about a minute, then a quick splash under the cold tap and into the mouth and bite down hard. When I did this I left the unit in place until the soft-gel had cooled and hardened somewhat. This created a good tight fit around my teeth. In terms of doing what it is supposed to do - stopping my horrible throat snoring - this does work. The wife says that I still make a little noise but its more of a purr and she can quite happily put up with that (considering the alternative...). Finally, I have been using this nightly for about a month, now. It is becoming a little slack in my mouth so I expect to be buying another one soon. Based on my experience so far, and the very reasonable price, I'll be buying the Neomen again. Recommended.

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. I tried it a few nights in a row and found in the morning my jaw had shifted the guard all the way forward. It seems to move more easily forward than back and I must have been grinding but didn’t have the jaw strength to move it back. This left me in probably an overly stretched position and I found I had painful upper teeth in the morning when I removed it. The first few nights I work up after 4 or 5 hours in discomfort and had to remove it to go back to sleep.It is very large and I couldn’t close my mouth with it in. I don’t feel I have a small mouth by any means.The good news is that I messaged the manufacturer about my issues and they replied quickly and offered a full refund which was processed the next day so you can’t ask for more than that.Didn’t work for me but it might for some and at least it is risk free.

tl; dr: this thing works, but I feel that the instructions are insufficient to avoid usage that can result in some pretty serious dental problems.So I got this and found it a pretty simple device to tailor to my teeth, or so I thought: heat it up, bite into it and mould it to your teeth for a bit, cool it off, and you're ready to go.My wife reported that it seriously reduced my snoring to a soft purr, so it really worked in that regard. However, I started having some comfort issues right away, and those probably contributed to a problem I had but wasn't aware of which required some expensive restoration work to correct.I think the problem was the *way* I bit into the mouthpiece: without any more specific instruction, I just kind of bit into it as I could any item that I was trying to take a bite of. This means my incisors were lined up, but my molars had a bit of space (I, like many folks, have a slight overbite when I have all my teeth meet). This indeed pulled my jaw forward, but significantly more than was needed. I only became aware of this after sleeping with it for a night where I woke up with my jaw muscles sore and tight, and my teeth reluctant to meet fully, really just having my incisors meet. This relaxed over the course of a day, so I tried it again a second night. The following morning my jaw muscles were in significant pain and it took days for them to relax enough to allow all of my teeth to meet when I bit down.In the interim, it appears that my bite was out of alignment for a while with my molars meeting up in ways that they normally don't. After a couple of days, I starting getting significant pain in one of my molars, and that progressed to such in intense level that I got several emergency dentist and endodontist visits to try to figure out what was going on.Long story short, they found the molar causing the problem had a crack in it, and that seemed to be the source of the pain. They had to grind that tooth down a bit and plan to add a crown to see if that will solve the pain issues and avoid a root canal.Now, I can't lay all of these problems at the foot of this device:- Did it cause my tooth to crack? I suppose it's possible (indirectly), but my gut tells me that this problem was there already and was simply aggrevated by the mouth guard's ability to drag my jaw forward and make my teeth meet differently.- Did the mouthguard cause my teeth to meet up differently? I would say 100% it was responsible for that, and that made it able to aggrevate the existing issue by changing my bite.- Did the mouthguard instructions address the jaw movement issue adequately? No, not at all: in the effort to make it appear simple to use the device, IMO they over-simplified the instructions and made it way to easy to create an impression that would cause your jaw to be in the wrong position.I believe that this thing requires nuanced application and a better description of the do's and dont's of making the impression, and what to look for in a good vs not-so-good impression of the guard. The instructions should carry some advice as to the possible results of a jaw brought too far forward, and what your goal should be in biting into it during the moulding process.So while it did a nice job in reducing my snoring, that lack of sufficient instructions have caused me personally a considerable amount of mounth pain and a pretty significant dentistry bill. So I gave it three stars as an average of 5 and 1 for the above characteristics.
