Molding Instructions

Overview

The SnoreMeds™ pack includes molding instructions which are quick and easy-to-follow. The SnoreMeds™ mouthpiece is an oral appliance generally worn at night. The mouthpiece works as a splint by positioning and holding the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. By doing this, the respiratory tract is widened, which enables air to flow unobstructed through the breathing passage enabling the patient to breathe more freely.

Preparation | You will need:

  • A surface near to where the water will be boiled.
  • A kettle or a pot to boil water.
  • A container or mug deep enough to submerge the mouthpiece.
  • A watch, clock or timing device which can measure in seconds.
  • Take the contents out of the box.
  • Place the mouthpiece in the upright position as in diagram (Fig 1)
  • Insert the spatula into the holes in the front of the mouthpiece (Fig 2)
  • Practice moving your bottom jaw forward and find a comfortable
    forward position. Remember that you only need to move your lower jaw forward by a few millimeters for the mouthpiece to be effective.

Molding Instructions

  • Boil the water.
  • Pour the water into the container or remove the pot from the heat
    source.
  • Hold the mouthpiece using the spatula (be aware of the mouthpiece
    upright position)
  • Place the mouthpiece in the boiled water for 15-18 seconds.
  • The mouthpiece will appear clear and the plastic will be soft.
  • Place the mouthpiece into your mouth (the right way up) still holding
    the mouthpiece by the spatula.
  • Push your lower jaw forward by a few millimeters and bite down hard.
  • Suck the air out and use your fingers to push the plastic against your
    teeth to produce a firm custom fit.
  • Use your tongue to push from the other side. Remove the mouthpiece
    and hold it in cold water to set the shape.

Cleaning and Storage

  • Keep the spatula, this will aid in future molding and cleaning of the
    mouthpiece.
  • Clean the mouthpiece by holding the mouthpiece with spatula.
  • Use toothpaste, mouthwash or Polident® 3-Minute Anti-Bacterial
    Denture Cleanser Rinse mouthpiece.
  • Shake off excess water, and store in the clean dry
    anti bacterial container supplied.
