Most people will use either a mandibular advancement (MAD) or a tongue retention device (TRD) to alleviate snoring.
Zyppah has combined both these devices into one appliance, the Zyppah Mouthpiece.
The Zyppah anti-snoring mouthpiece has an FDA-approved plastic piece and a soft rubber tongue strap.
It is made to fit most adults without any adjustment. However, it has a boil-and-bite fit that allows for custom impressions.
The Zyppah mouthpiece's unique design holds the tongue in place and prevents it from sliding back into the throat. This ensures that the airway remains open while you sleep. In addition, to improve airflow and decrease snoring, the mouthpiece moves the lower jaw forward.
The Zyppah snoring jaw pieces boil and the bite design adjusts to your comfort. It can limit the jaw displacement however you like.
The Zyppah mouthguard is a bit more expensive than other antisnoring devices.
We think the high-quality construction and the hybrid functionality of this product are well worth it.
Although the Zyppah mouthpiece has mixed reviews, many celebrities recommend it.
There are many colors available for the Zyppah.
You also get a free 90-day trial and a generous refund guarantee.

Unique Features
The Zyppah mouthguard has many unique features such as:
Hybrid Design
You snore when your tongue relaxes and obstructs your airway or because you sleep with your mouth open. The Zyppah snoring jaw piece, a unique hybrid design, addresses the root cause and stabilizes your tongue.
The soft elastic strap keeps the tongue from sliding back into the throat and does not restrict the airways. In addition, the mandibular advancement design pulls the lower jaw from its original position so that when you sleep, it doesn't obstruct your throat and cause you to snore.
FDA-approved
FDA-approved materials are used to make the Zyppah Mouthpiece. Two types of thermoplastic are used in its construction. Both are entirely non-toxic, and both are free of BPA and latex.
If properly maintained and cared for, the mouthpiece can last a lifetime.
In addition, the tongue retaining strap is made out of soft rubber. It's flexible and elastic enough to effectively depress your tongue.
Boil-and-bite Moulding
The Zyppah mouthpiece is universally sized and will fit most adults. However, the boil-and-bite function allows you to customize it according to your oral structure.
Before you use it for the first, mold it. If you're not satisfied with the fit or don't like it the first time, you can always redo it three times until you're completely satisfied.
Celebrity-Endorsed Appliance
Zyppah is a popular choice because of its effectiveness.
Celebrities like Shaquille A. Smith, Steven A. Smith, and Bob Eubanks publicly endorse it as a solution to their snoring issues.
Many TV shows, including NBC Nightly News and Bloomberg, Good Morning America, and The Dr. Oz Show, have also praised it.
Zyppah Mouthpiece Vs. Its Competitors
Zyppah is an excellent product for reducing snoring. However, there are some areas where it falls short of its competition.
Here's how Zyppah compares with its competitors.
Tongue strap
The Zyppah tongue strap is the best-selling feature. The tongue depressor elastic is flexible and effectively keeps your tongue in a steady position. It helps reduce snoring by keeping your tongue down.
While other devices are available that can realign your jaw, most don't prevent your tongue from falling back, and therefore they aren't as effective at stopping snoring.
Hybrid Design
Most competitors use either tongue retaining or mandibular advancement (MAD) techniques. The Zyppah, however, combines both to create a unique hybrid device.
The Zyppah snoring aid advances your mandible and retains your tongue to treat the root cause of snoring. The Zyppah snoring device addresses both the root and secondary causes.
Adjustability
Zyppah's biggest problem is its inability to adjust. Some users may find it uncomfortable because it stays in one place.
Many of its competitors also have articulated posterior joints. This means that when you open your mouth, the device opens as well. Zyppah doesn't open with your mouth. It works only when your mouth is closed.
Color Options
Zyppah's snoring mouthpiece is available in many colors to suit different population groups. However, the snoring device is not available in clear or white. These are, however, two options for other snoring devices.
Price
Zyppah costs more than many of its competitors. Many anti-snoring devices are cheaper than Zyppah, with some being just a fraction of the price.
The Zyppah's expensive price tag is justifiable. However, this mouthguard is unique in its hybrid design, which reduces your snoring.
Issues & Concerns
The Zyppah Mouthpiece is an innovative device that reduces snoring. However, there are some flaws to it.
Excessive Dooling
Numerous verified users have reported excessive drooling when wearing the Zyppah Mouthpiece.
Your brain will assume there are lots of foods in your mouth because the device completely fills it. As a result, it triggers excessive salivation to process it.
This problem can be avoided by wearing your Zyppah an hour before you go to bed. Keep yourself distracted. Your brain will soon realize that you don't eat enough food, and your drooling will stop.
Not Very Comfortable for Lady Snorers
Zyppah has universally size to fit in 90% of adults' mouths. You must keep your mouth shut while using Zyppah.
This is because the mandibular advancement for ladies can be a little too large. This device will not cause any problems for users who have larger mandibles. However, the discomfort for ladies may be more severe.
How to Use the Zyppah Mouthpiece
You must create an oral impression using a boil-and-bite process before you can use the Zyppah Mouthpiece. Here's how:
- Use hot water to submerge Zyppah in the container.
- To prevent the tongue strap from floating to the surface, use a tong or another utensil.
- It is best to keep it away from the bottom or sides of the container as the device could stick to them.
- Allow it to soak for between 30 and 45 seconds.
- Take it out and allow it to cool for 10 seconds.
- Place it in your mouth and press down on your lower jaw to create an impression.
- Move your jaw slightly to align your upper teeth. Now, bite down.
- This position should be held for approximately one minute.
- Take it out and take a look at the impressions. You can proceed to the next step if they are satisfactory. You can repeat the process a few more times if they are not.
- To set the impression, let your Zyppah run in cold water.
After you've made it fit your mouth, you can simply place it in your mouth before you go to sleep.
However, it is not easy to do because Zyppah's anti-snoring mouthpiece can take some getting used to.
We recommend that you apply it at least one hour before going to bed so that it feels natural. It takes between 6 days and 6 weeks to get used to it.
Maintenance and Care
The Zyppal mouthpiece is anti-snoring. You need to be careful about how it is maintained. It is easy to clean. To clean your Zyppah, you can use your normal toothpaste and toothbrush.
If you're more susceptible to getting infections, Zyppah makes its own anti-fungal and anti-viral cleaning foam, which you can buy for cleaning purposes.
Use gentler or more abrasive cleaners than dish soap or bleach to clean your Zyppah. They can damage the material and decrease its lifespan.
Make sure to dry your washcloth after each use.
