Welcome to the SnoreMD instruction guide! This comprehensive guide will help you understand how to properly use and maintain your SnoreMD device for effective anti-snoring results. Follow the steps carefully to ensure optimal comfort and performance.
What is SnoreMD?
SnoreMD is an innovative, user-friendly anti-snoring device designed to help reduce snoring by advancing the lower jaw slightly forward. This mandibular repositioning technique keeps the airway open, ensuring uninterrupted breathing during sleep. The device is easy to mold at home for a custom fit and comes with a 12-month warranty. It is a non-invasive solution for addressing snoring, offering comfort and effectiveness for a restful night’s sleep.
Materials Required for SnoreMD Setup
A medium-sized pot, timer, spatula or tongs, and a large coffee cup of tap water are essential for properly molding and setting up your SnoreMD.
Boiling Water in a Microwave
To begin, boil a cup of water in a microwave until it reaches a full boil. Ensure the water is hot but not excessively boiling over. Carefully remove the cup using a spatula or tongs to avoid burns. This step is crucial for softening the SnoreMD material, allowing it to mold comfortably to your jaw shape. Always prioritize safety when handling hot water and microwave equipment. Use a timer to monitor the boiling process and avoid overheating. Properly boiled water is essential for the molding process to work effectively.
Using a Medium-Sized Pot or Large Coffee Cup
Select a medium-sized pot or a large coffee cup to submerge your SnoreMD device. Ensure the container is deep enough to fully cover the device with boiled water. Avoid using shallow containers to prevent the device from bending or warping. After boiling water in the microwave, carefully pour it into the chosen container. Handle the pot or cup with care to avoid burns. This setup ensures the SnoreMD device softens evenly, making it ready for molding. Proper containment is key for successful fitting and comfort.
Essential Tools: Timer, Spatula, or Tongs
A timer, spatula, or tongs are crucial for handling SnoreMD during the fitting process. Use the timer to ensure the device is submerged in boiled water for the recommended 90 seconds. A spatula or tongs are necessary for carefully removing SnoreMD from the hot water without causing burns. These tools help maintain control and safety while molding the device for a custom fit. Proper use of these tools ensures the SnoreMD is shaped correctly for optimal comfort and effectiveness during sleep.
Fitting Instructions for SnoreMD
Fitting SnoreMD ensures a custom fit. Submerge the device in boiled water for 90 seconds, then carefully mould it to your dental structure for optimal comfort.
Preparation: Brushing Teeth Before Use
Brushing your teeth is a crucial first step before using SnoreMD. This ensures a clean and hygienic surface for the device to mould to, preventing bacteria buildup. Use a fluoride toothpaste and gentle strokes to clean all areas thoroughly. Rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash for extra cleanliness. A clean mouth helps the device fit comfortably and effectively. Do not skip this step, as it is essential for optimal performance and to maintain proper oral hygiene while using SnoreMD.
Submerging SnoreMD in Boiled Water
Submerge SnoreMD in boiled water for 90 seconds to soften the material for moulding. Use a timer to ensure the exact time is met. Carefully place the device into the water using a spatula or tongs to avoid burns. After 90 seconds, remove it with the same utensils and gently shake off excess water. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency for a comfortable fit. Handle the device carefully to prevent damage and ensure proper moulding to your mouth shape. Timing is essential for optimal results. Always prioritize safety when working with hot water.
Moulding the Device for Optimal Comfort
Once removed from the water, mould SnoreMD by gently biting down to shape it to your mouth. Hold the position for 30 seconds to set the shape. Ensure the device fits snugly without causing discomfort. If needed, adjust the lower jaw position for better alignment. Proper moulding ensures effective snoring reduction and a comfortable fit. Follow the included guide for precise instructions to achieve the best results and avoid any issues during sleep. Moulding correctly is key to the device’s performance and your comfort.
Usage Instructions for SnoreMD
Wear SnoreMD every night during sleep to maximize effectiveness. Keep the device on its factory settings unless adjustments are necessary for comfort or performance. Consistent use ensures better sleep quality and reduced snoring over time.
Wearing the Device During Sleep
Wear SnoreMD consistently each night to achieve the best results. Properly fitted, the device should feel comfortable while advancing your lower jaw slightly forward, keeping your airway open. Ensure the device is secure before sleep to prevent shifting. Full-night use is crucial for effectiveness, so wear it from bedtime until waking up. This consistent use helps reduce snoring and improves sleep quality over time, ensuring a restful night’s sleep for both you and your partner.
Adjusting the Factory Settings if Necessary
SnoreMD is preset to a default setting of 3, which works for most users. However, if adjustments are needed, ensure the device has cooled down after molding. Use a timer to avoid overheating during adjustments. Gently modify the position using a spatula or tongs, taking care not to over-tighten. Small increments are recommended to achieve comfort and effectiveness. Proper adjustment ensures the device remains effective while maintaining user comfort, allowing for a more restful and snore-free sleep experience.
