a few minutes of removing the SnoreMender but teeth may feel sensitive for longer
at first.
The key is to persevere - give yourself time to get used to it. Our staff includes
long time users of SnoreMenders –if you have any difficulties, please see our FAQ
at www.snoremenders.com or email us at help@snoremenders.com
If the teeth continue to ache significantly, after the first 8 weeks of use, please check
the "If the SnoreMender is too strong" section of the instructions.
Occasionally at night your SnoreMender may fall out. This is normal and should
happen less over time - if it keeps falling out, please see adjustments below.
Sometimes the SnoreMender may cause excess saliva or a dry mouth - your mouth
will usually adjust within two to four weeks.
Cleaning and Maintaining SnoreMender
Warning - never overheat your SnoreMender –Max 100°C / 212°F !!!
1. Wash by hand in warm water, with soap, and rinse.
2. If you want to keep more springiness in the hinges, once clean, hold the
SnoreMender opened out flat and run hot tap water over the hinges for 30
seconds to soften them slightly. Then dry and store in the box.
If the SnoreMender is rubbing the gums
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 using the nail file gently.
If it rubs elsewhere, please email help@snoremenders.com for advice.
If the SnoreMender Slips out of place
Sometimes the lower part of the SnoreMender may be a little too wide, so it will not
fit behind 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 3 cups of boiling water in a bowl.
2. Hold the lower front half of the device in the water for 90 seconds.
3. Squeeze the lower front part together firmly to make it narrower.
4. Hold in position and put in cold water for 30 seconds to cool.
If you make it too narrow, you can just put it back in the hot water for a few seconds
and it will return to the original shape.
If the slippage is elsewhere, please email help@snoremenders.com for advice.
