There is an inexpensive version of the "oral splint" that is often called the "boil and bite" because it is exactly how you fit it in you jaw. The less expensive orthodontic anti-snoring appliance are made of soft plastic which soften in hot water. In order to make it fit your jaw you just need to place the oral splint into hot water for a while and then bit into the mouthpiece to mold it to your jaw. Buying this inexpensive device is a very good way to find out if this device can help you stop snoring, if it does, you should consider having one made just for you by your dentist.
