I figured I would try it out before actually going ahead with a custom fit one through my dentist.\u00a0 When it arrived, it was translucent and reminded me of a boxing or football mouthpiece. \u00a0 There was a photocopy of some instructions about boiling it first and then biting on it to customize it to my particular liking.\u00a0 If I were to guess, the thing must have been manufactured in China.\u00a0 It did come with a plastic carrying case.\u00a0 I was pretty skeptical at first that this would make any difference because it is used in the front of your mouth to hold your jaw forward and the snoring occurs toward the back in your throat.\u00a0 I decided to give it a shot though.
