In this article, I’m going to write about how snore guard in general works and compare that with how Snore Wizard works. This anti-snoring device has one distinct advantage. (double edged sword, it is also a disadvantage) You do not need to mold this mandibular advancement device (MAD) according to your bite, teeth, and jaw shape. This is convenient because molding a snore guard is not always easy and is a chore for most people. But there in lies the biggest disadvantage for the snore wizard. If you are unlucky, snore wizard might not fit your jaw, teeth or the depth of your bite.
Before I continue, I have to explain why the Snore Wizard mouthpiece must fit your mouth in order for it to work. Snoring mouth guard works by advancing your lower jaw slightly forward. This prevents the airway in the throat to be blocked by your tongue or your soft palate. The soft tissues vibrate when the airways are small or blocked. (This is the sound your partner hears when you snore) Another way an anti snoring snore guard works is by fully blocking your mouth airways. You will be forced to breath through your nose, and this will prevent the air from vibrating the soft palate. Now that you know how and why a snore guard works, we can continue to the next section.
If snore wizard does not fit, you might experience pain if you insist on using it. That is not the worse-case scenario. If it is only slightly painful you might keep going, and this will pose a more serious risk than having painful experience and quitting the first night. What I’m talking about is the shifting of teeth. This is dangerous because you will not be able to bite normally and this might disturb your normal functioning. In the worst-case scenario your lower jaw may even protrude even without wearing the snore guard. This is because you subconsciously wants to bite normally. This device is also not suitable for TMJ (Tempero Mandibular Jaw) sufferer because it offers absolutely no adjustment.
With the reasons above, I’m skeptical of the snore wizard manufacturer’s claim that this device has a 94% success rate. Are they saying that 94 percentage of the snorer in the United States has about the same jaw size, depth of bite and teeth shape? I find that hard to believe. Even if you are lucky and the snore guard fits you, you will not feel comfortable when you sleep because it is impossible to fit you 100%. So comfort while wearing this device is out of the question, note that I’m not saying that snoring mouthpiece in general does not work. They do help you reduce snoring.
The workmanship of this device is also not excellent. This leads to a lot of issues of gum pain and sore jaw. However, in some of the case, this is easily fixed by using a scissor or a knife to cut off rough edges that does not fit your mouth.
With so many negative points about the SnoreWizard, should you buy it? Note that the above review is the worst-case scenario. A lot of people has a positive experience with this Mandibular advancement device. It works. However, there is a lot of other snore guard that works just as well and does not have any of the negative points of the Snore wizard. So why would you take the risk?
If you plan to buy it, please read further because I’m going to talk about who is this for. As I have mentioned above, the snore wizard is not for those who has TMJ problem because you can not adjust the protrusion of your lower jaw as time goes by. If it is too protruded, you can not adjust it to protrude less. This is a major discomfort for those who has TMJ problems. (In fact, it might even be a problem for those with normal jaw) The snorewizard is only suitable for those wants to stop snoring now and has mild sleep apnea.

Hi,
I saw a programme about the Snore Wizard last night was actually going to purchase it now but after reading your article I think Im going to do other searches for something similar.What you say makes a lot of sense! I didnt think about the fitting of the teeth/gum area..maybe because I got excited that there was a quick solution to my husbands snoring.
Again, thank you.
