Snoring is a widespread sleep issue. An estimated 30% of adults snore, and the rate rises to 50% among people over 60. For regular snorers, it can harm sleep quality for both the sleeper and their partner.

Because the problem is so common, there are many anti-snoring products on the market, including nasal strips, nose dilators, and specialty pillows. Still, one of the most effective options is a mandibular advancement device, or MAD. These mouthpieces are designed to hold the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep to help keep the airway open, and studies have shown they can reduce snoring by up to 80%.

How it works

Many store-bought MADs are one-size-fits-all, but the Avera mouthpiece can be molded to fit your teeth for better comfort and performance. To shape it, you boil the mouthpiece for 60 seconds to soften it, then bite down firmly for 30 seconds so it forms to your teeth.

There are additional adjustments as well. The mouthpiece includes two jaw settings and three arches: one upper and two lower. When worn overnight, the custom-fit design gently keeps the lower jaw forward to help preserve airflow and reduce snoring. It may feel a bit awkward during the first few nights, but the company says most users adjust within 3-5 nights.

What reviewers are saying

If you want proof that this mouthpiece can make a real difference, the reviews are full of strong praise:

"My wife recorded me on SnoreLab, and my score went from 42 to 8," one user said. "She says it's the first time in years she hasn't had to shove me onto my side at 3 a.m. Tried the strips and sprays before, none of that worked. This actually did."

"Got diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea last year, AHI of 18. Doctor said try a MAD before committing to CPAP," another reviewer wrote. "Follow-up sleep study and my AHI was down to 4. I'm sleeping through the night now, which I haven't done in years."

"I've probably spent $500+ on anti-snoring stuff over the years — nose clips, throat sprays, special pillows, chin straps, all of it," a five-star reviewer wrote. "None of it works because none of it actually moves your jaw forward, which is the whole point. This does. Simple as that."
