Snoring a... a simple
mouthguard for men and
women
Great! You have made
the decision to investigate snoring treatments! Why
choose us...and why are we unique? We could say
it's our customer service (personalised and fast) or our free
delivery (overnight to Metro and one extra day for regional) but
most likely our competitors are now saying that too! We run a
small personalised company...small in size but mighty in
effectiveness and we provide a 110% money back
guarantee.The only stipulation is to
please contact us first - as often there's a simple point in
molding that a first time user may overlook - and we work really
hard to help you get it right! My name is Elizabeth Horne and
I own this company and am happy to have been selling these devices
for some years now. I started this company after a long and
exhaustive search for treatment within my own family. You'll
see this website is a little more detailed than most as I seek to
educate and inform as I feel it's important to understand a little
of the science of why we snore to ensure you understand how this
device will work for you. So often people call me and say
'but do they really work?' Well, yes they do - but please if
in doubt, do some googling on Mandibular Advancement Devices or
Splints as they are sometimes called and you will see they are a
valid form of treatment for snoring and OSA (under medical
supervision and after correct diagnosis). Snoring is not just
a nuisance - lack of sleep impacts on every aspect of our
physiology and prolonged sleep deprivation leads to weight gain,
depression, heart issues and many other avoidable nasties so take
charge now!I am assionate about the science
of sleep and study it avidly - so feel free to ask any questions
you can't find the answers for on these
pages!
Apart from being a pioneer of this type of device
in Australia well over 8 years ago, this product is
a BPA free Australian made (discreet) thermoplastic
Mandibular Advancement Device, similar in mechanical principle to a
custom made dental appliance, but priced to provide an
affordable, effective snoring treatment for both male and
female sufferers. We offer a90 day
guarantee period, but like we say...we do ask you to contact
us immediately if you experience any issues with your device at
all, as mostly with a few tips from us, you'll have your device
working just fine. And ladies, please see the tabs to the
left where we offer advice on menopausal snoring and how unbalanced
hormones can affect our quality of sleep, health and amazingly our
weight.If you are in any doubt as to
whether it's essential to treat your snoring issue please read our
Important Facts About
Snoring.
We don't cut corners on quality or
service and unlike some competitors, we offer personalised help
from 7am till 7pm, 7 days a week, and often field calls and pleas
for assistance re molding for our competitors' products! We
are happy to do so - this business exists to help people. It
is not a huge highly profitable corporate company - it's a small,
privately owned and operated family business with a solid
reputation for impartial advice and we are happy to field the odd
call on the weekend to help someone out! Yes, we ship around
the world too - though our business is wholly owned and run from
Australia with fair impartial advice and unrivalled customer
service. You may find a slightly cheaper product but we
maintain our level of service and product integrity and quality by
offering the price we do. We don't take shortcuts and we
don't offer 24 hour assistance by paying remote call centres to
help you, in fact you'll most often find yourself talking to me -
any day of the week! Then take the
challenge if you like and call our major competitors for comparison
of service! (Always make sure the product you purchase is
registered with the Therapeutic Goods Association like ours is :
ARTG#115164).
If you have tried many
other snoring solutions without success, please be reassured by the
fact that Mandibular Advancement Devices and Splints have been made
for over a decade by dentists and sleep disorder clinics
and are a medically recognised form of snoring
treatment.This particular product
was one of the first self-mold devices available in the
snoring treatment field and is in it's 8th year of
production, selling both within Australia as well as worldwide
to both individuals and sleep disturbance equipment
retailers.
Our
devices are currently being reviewed as stock for major
pharmaceutical outlets, however we realise the importance of
understanding whether people suffer from snoring, or if there are
more serious sleep disorders involved. Pharmacists are
not qualified to comment on that - so it's important to us that
if you think you may suffer from a serious sleep issue that
you contact us prior to purchase. Our device is stocked by a
supplier of sleep disorder equipment and we are currently
trialing our product with dentists who recognise that a
professionally fitted Mandibular Splint may not be affordable for
everyone. People don't come from the same cookie cutter,
we are all shapes and sizes and we work with you by phone or
email for as long as necessary to resolve any fitting issues and
until you are happy. Equally though we need your help too -
if you have a pronounced overbite, underbite, irregular jawline, or
some reason you feel the fitting of a self mold device may be
tricky please call me first!
Let's talk about why we snore!
Pretend
you are about to drift off to sleep on your back (or you have
turned onto your back during a sleep rousal). As you drift off
again you are in light sleep and breathing is not an issue.
After a while you move into deep sleep and your throat muslces
relax which allows your tongue to drop back slightly. Your
brain senses that your airways have been partially blocked (or
completely as in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) and it sends an urgent
signal to wake up. If you don't wake entirely you will move
into light sleep again and this may happen hundreds of times a
night. The degree to which your airways are blocked
determines whether you are simply snoring or whether you have some
degree of OSA. If you regularly wake up choking or gasping
you should definitely investigate the issue via an in-clinic or a
take home sleep study via a referral from your GP. Please
don't assume that you need to be overweight, older or male to have
this condition! Many younger, thin people also suffer from it
either due to genetically narrower airways, less throat muscle tone
and sometimes from the lower jaw being set back slightly.
Untreated OSA has been proven to lead to high blood pressure and
places you at risk long term for stroke, diabetes, depression,
erectile dysfunction and heart attack. These days OSA is
treatable but it's important not to ignore it! Mandibular
Advancement Devices (MADs) such as this are used around the world
for the treatment of OSA after proper medical diagnosis and
depending on the level of Apnoea present. Snoring and OSA
contribute to weight gain too - which further exacerbates the issue
of course. Please see our page on snoring and weight gain for
further information.
Like a quick snapshot of how the
device works?
First,
make a snoring noise...then, move your lower jaw slightly forward
and now try to make a snoring noise again. Preferably do this
lying down on your back to start. Moving the mandible(jaw)
very slightly forward actually moves the tongue muscle forward
slightly also, which clears the airways and prevents your tongue
from dropping back and vibrating or blocking the airways
intermittently. It's that simple!

Please ensure you purchase your anti snoring treatment from a reputable company and that the product is entered on the TGA Register. This device is entered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a Class 1 Medical Device under number ARTG#115164 on 13/4/2004.
When awake, muscles and posture hold the airway open.There is no obstruction, breathing is unrestricted and quiet.
When sleeping, muscles relax and the airway becomes obstructed. Breathing is laboured and noisy.
The mouthpiece is worn in the mouth while sleeping, and holds the snorer’s lower jaw in a forward extended position. This moves the base of the tongue away from the back of the airway and the soft palate, removing the obstruction and restoring quiet breathing.
If you only snore on your back, are pregnant, or cannot use a mouthguard due to epilepsy, loose teeth, dental disease, loose dentures or a strong gag reflex or claustrophobia - you may find a bolster belt of great benefit. Click here for details now.

Our most recent letter from a happy customer! Hello Liz...after being quoted $1000 from a local snoring clinic for fitting of a similar device to that provided by you, I saw an ad for your product, at just a fraction of the cost, in an old magazine in the waiting room of a surgery. As I have not slept without waking up on average of four times a night for over 30 years, I decided to give your device a try despite the huge difference in price. On the very first night I slept continuously throughout the night and have continued to sleep peacefully ever since. I would therefore like to thank you for your product and excellent after sales service and would recommend Instantly Stop Snoring without hesitation to anyone with a similar problem. With thanks, Richard.
