Snoring might seem like a minor nuisance, but for many, it's a nightly struggle that disrupts sleep, causes fatigue, and strains relationships. If you or your partner are tired of restless nights caused by loud snoring, the Bodyassist Snoring Gum Shield offers a straightforward, non-invasive solution. Designed to encourage better breathing and quieter nights, this simple tool can significantly improve sleep quality without complicated devices or uncomfortable adjustments.
How the Snoring Gum Shield Works
A snoring gum shield—also known as a mandibular advancement device—fits inside your mouth like a mouthguard. Its job is simple: gently position your lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. This forward shift helps open your airway, making it easier for air to pass through without creating the vibrations that cause snoring.
The Bodyassist Snoring Gum Shield is soft, flexible, and moldable for a custom fit. It’s comfortable enough to wear through the night and easy to clean, making it a convenient addition to your nightly routine.

Who Can Benefit?
This gum shield is ideal for people who snore due to mild airway obstruction, especially from sleeping on their back. It can also help reduce dry mouth and sore throat symptoms caused by open-mouth breathing during sleep. The device is particularly helpful for:
-
Light to moderate snorers
-
Mouth breathers
-
People with mild jaw misalignment
-
Those who prefer a drug-free option
While it’s not a cure for sleep apnea, it can provide relief for those with occasional or positional snoring.
A Whole-Body Approach to Better Sleep
At Bodyassist, we understand that sleep problems are often part of a bigger picture. Discomfort in one part of the body—like the feet or joints—can interfere with how we sleep, move, and recover.
Forearm Crutches
If you're recovering from an injury or surgery, forearm crutches can provide more ergonomic and long-term support than traditional underarm crutches. They're easier on the wrists and shoulders and allow for greater mobility—especially helpful if you're healing from a condition that affects your balance or lower body strength. Improved movement during the day often leads to better sleep at night.
Post Op Shoes
Recovering from foot surgery or injury? A post op shoe can protect your foot while allowing you to stay mobile. Proper support and alignment during the day can prevent pain that keeps you up at night. With adjustable straps and non-slip soles, Bodyassist post op shoes make rest and recovery smoother.
Silicone Heel Protector
Heel pain is another sleep disruptor. Whether it’s from plantar fasciitis, cracked heels, or pressure sores, pain at the heel can make lying in bed uncomfortable. A silicone heel protector cushions the area, reduces pressure, and can be worn at night or during the day. It’s a small addition that can lead to major relief.

Tips for Using the Snoring Gum Shield
-
Fit it properly by following the included molding instructions for a secure and comfortable wear.
-
Clean it daily with warm water and mild soap to maintain hygiene.
-
Store it in a clean case to keep it protected from dust and damage.
-
Use it consistently—most users notice results after just a few nights.
If you experience discomfort or jaw stiffness, try wearing the gum shield for shorter periods at first and gradually increase the duration.
