I’ve reviewed all kinds of anti-snoring devices, including pillows, nasal strips, tongue retaining devices, MADs (mandibular advancement devices), and mouthpieces.

The nuSleep OTC is an over-the-counter oral appliance that mimics the process of having your dentist make a custom mouthpiece without the wait or the high…
The Tap 3 Elite and SnoreRx are both classified as MADs (mandibular advancement devices). My experience with each of them is similar to most consumers: both MAD devices do an excellent job.

And for some people, it’s just never going to be relaxing to sleep properly with a full MAD inside their mouth. For that reason, I wanted to write this comparison of two devices that are also…
The ZQuiet, similarly to the Snore Guard, keeps your jaw slightly forward to maintain an open airway. Both devices are part of a standard line of anti-snoring products known as MADs (mandibular advancement device). My wife and I tried both of them.
