Eliminator Pro 2.0 - Nighttime Dental Mouthguard - Bite Nightguard for Sleep to Reduce Clenching & Pain – 2 Piece Adjustable Moldable & Comfortable

It really works for me. I've been using it for six weeks now. I'm a prodigious snorer. My phone's built-in cough and snore app says I was snoring an average of 2 hours a night. After a week on this item I was either no snoring or 6-12 minutes occasionally. Naturally I'm much better rested in the morning. I asked my dentist how much a custom-made splint would cost: $2,000-$2,500. There is a downside: it's big in one's mouth, to the extent that sometimes my lips don't close over it, leading to a dry mouth. This doesn't bother me: improved sleep and freedom from snoring more than makes up for that. The instructions were clear and it was easy to mould to my teeth.

I have been using a custom molded oral appliance for 5 years. It was created by my hospital's Oral Maxilfacial lab at one of the country's leading hospitals. When I purchased it, I was told it would last 3 – 5 years. I purchased the Eliminator Pro with the hope that it would replace my worn out custom molded oral appliance. Prior to getting my custom molded oral appliance, I had to have a sleep study to determine the cause of my snoring and whether, and to what degree, I suffered from sleep apnea. Not only was this expensive but it was inconvenient. It cost at least $700 out of pocket. I was fitted with an oral appliance, which required at least 3 medical appointments with co-pays, parking fees, etc. The device works by pulling my lower jaw forward. It was very uncomfortable for the first few months of use, but it reduced my snoring dramatically. I purchased the Eliminator Pro because I need to replace my custom made oral appliance. The Eliminator Pro arrived quickly, the instructions to fit it to my mouth were OK, and I have used the Eliminator Pro for the last week with great results. It works according to the same design principles as my custom made oral appliance. It pulls my lower jaw forward and eliminates snoring. Over the last 5 years, my custom-made oral appliance has loosened up and my snoring has increased. When I snore, two people have a crappy night of sleep – me and my husband. I am so pleased with the Eliminator Pro! I value a good night's sleep and I love the feeling of waking up in a good mood and well-rested. I also like that if I need to re-mold the Eliminator Pro, I don't have to set up an appointment, and I don't have to undergo a sleep study. I also don’t have to miss work, make appointments, drive all over town, and pay parking fees and co-pays. The Eliminator Pro seems as well made as my custom-made oral appliance, and is very reasonably priced. For new users, it will take some time to get accustomed to sleeping with a big piece of plastic in your mouth. For this reason, I usually don’t wear it when I go to bed. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and I put it in my mouth then. This way, I’m not trying to fall asleep with it in my mouth. Also, my snoring gets loud and disruptive mid-way through the night. I’m glad the Eliminator Pro finally brought a custom snore eliminating device to regular people at a decent price.

Both top and bottom are attached. Cant open your mouth if you wear them

I don't leave feedback very often, but I was so sad when this product wasn't what I was hoping for. After being told I may have obstructive sleep apnea I started looking for something that may help while I wait for my next doctor's visit, and came across this product (not marketed as a cure or anything). When I got it the instructions are very clear, and the packaging is good. It says to boil water, drop the mouthpiece in for EXACTLY 90 seconds, then dip it in tap water to wash off the hot water, then set your teeth into it to make an impression for 30 seconds, then submerge it in tap water for 60 seconds to set the impression. I boiled water and set it in the water for exactly 90 seconds. When I started to take it out with the tongs it advises you to use in the instructions, the plastic sections which mold to your teeth had completely shifted, so it was no longer covering the whole top or the whole bottom of the mouthpiece but instead had come up in sections and clumped together. Also it stuck to the tongs which left plastic that hardened on the tongs as well and meant a little less plastic on the mouthpiece. I was so disappointed because I was really hoping this might help me feel more rested. I decided to try again, thinking that if the plastic is meant to be molded to your teeth, maybe I can somehow mold it back into position. So I repeated the steps. This time I made it all the way through the steps, and used a big metal spoon instead of the tongs. Same thing, the plastic was trying to stick to everything and was shifting around. I stuck with it and dipped it in the cool bowl of tap water I had set aside. The instructions say that the mouthpiece is made from materials that do not retain heat so it will not be hot at this point, which I found was not true. It was not unbearable pain but there was discomfort and the heat that was still left was enough to hurt towards the corners of my mouth and my actual teeth became very sensitive and were hurting. then I set it in the tap water for 60 seconds. The plastic had not gone completely back into its place. I could see how this may still be functional for someone, but it didn't even fit properly in my mouth. it was much too wide and vertically it did not fit over my teeth well. I can't rule out that there was somehow user error but I followed the instructions to a "T" twice.

The "instruction booklet" needs to state clearly: 1. What temperature the water needs to be at eg: 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, NOT put into boiling water (ie: 100 o C) 2.Also, How long in water , (at say 70 oC) eg: 60 sec or 90 sec ?? Otherwise one may find oneself with a gooey un-useable product. My guess put it into 65 oC Water (first off) ...... for 90 sec. Then put straight into the mouth. It won't burn your mouth. (It doesn't for me at 70 oC ) It's tolerable. With ALL these Snore MAD mouthguards : they will ALL "contract" : if you put it into cold water AFTER molding. Therefore, LEAVE it in your mouth, for "half and hour" ! : It will cool down slowly, and form a perfect mold to your mouth. Putting in in cold water AFTER you created a perfect mould, will cause it to contract. So just leave it in your mouth for half hour, use your PC or TV for this time to pass. You will get the best mold this way. For PERFECT FIT (I do this): I do the molding process again ( a 2nd time). (As Above). You get an even better fit. NB: None of the Snore Mouth guards will state the needed ...... "Water Temperature" So you might use the above as a guideline ? Once molded perfectly, they give ALMOST as good a result, as the $2000 acrylic versions that dentist make. Clean with a toothbrush & paste, every morning, it will last about 6 months, to a year. To avoid sore jaw : (with ALL the Snore Mouthguards): (It's totally normal for 3 days) 1. Set your mouthguard gauge to only : "3" 2. (night 1) Leave it in your mouth, an hour BEFORE bed, then take it out. Then go to sleep, without it in ! 3. (night 2) : Sleep with it in , for only half the night. 4. (night 3 or 4) : You should be able to wear the Mouthguard with NO more snoreness , in the morning. There will be ...... morning stiffness for 3 days, After this initial time. : The morning stiffness should stop. It did for me. After a month, if you want (when you jaw has acclimatized to the previous lower setting of "3" Then nudge it forward to say "7" , (if you need More Jaw / Throat help). Now I can wear it all night , No sore jaw in mornings anymore. Hope this helps others.
