Page 3/4 SnoreMender 4 Instructions
Adjuster trimmed for position 5
Additional strength settings if you are still snoring
If position 4 (all 4 pegs connected) is not stopping the
snoring, you can cut off either one or two of the pegs and
holes to use the 5th and 6th strength settings. Use sharp
scissors and cut the minimum possible (see diagram), and
connect all remaining pegs.
If the SnoreMender is still not stopping your snoring, please email us at
help@snoremenders.ca for advice.
Cleaning SnoreMender
Before every use, unfasten the connector and wash by hand in warm water, with soap.
Rinse well and re-fasten while still wet.
Do not use anything abrasive to clean the SnoreMender.
You can use mild sterilising fluids such as are used for dentures, if required.
If the SnoreMender is rubbing the gums or lips
This is usually because the hinges are too springy, forcing the edges into the gums. To
solve: using gloves, hold the hinges in a bowl of boiling water for 60 seconds with it
folded closed, shake dry, squeeze the hinges very firmly together and hold in cold water
for 60 seconds.
If it is still rubbing, for the upper part, you can trim the connector straps. You can use nail
scissors to trim a strip off the top edges. For the part with the pegs, you can trim right up
to the edges of the pegs. For the part with the holes in, you should not trim closer than
about 1mm (1/32 inch).
For the lower part you can use a nail file and file the edges down, or nail scissors to trim
them. You will need to press firmly with the file. It is best to do one half first, so you can
see how much you have filed. About 1 mm (1/32 inch) is usually enough.
You can smooth any rough edges by gently using a nail file.
Note that these adjustments do not invalidate the guarantee.
If the SnoreMender slips out of place
Sometimes the lower part of the SnoreMender may be too wide, so it will not fit inside the
lower teeth without squeezing it into place, and it will then sometimes 'pop off the teeth'.
In this case, the following adjustment should help:
1. Put some boiling water in a bowl.
2. Hold the lower front half of the device in the water for 90 seconds.
