Zyppah Where To Buy ^NEW^
Looking in the mirror, place Zyppah in your mouth, starting with your lower jaw. Your bottom teeth should touch the point where the hard black plastic touches the green thermoplastic. When your teeth are properly positioned extend your lower jaw forward.

The device we reviewed was the basic model that can be ordered online without the need for a prescription. Zyppah has three other models that need to be custom fitted by a doctor or dentist. Dr. Greenburg has opened five sleep clinics in southern California where it is possible to go to be fitted for these higher-level devices.
There is an important difference with respect to the fitting of the Zyppah relative to other MADs, and it is that you must visually adjust the device using a mirror, rather than having your teeth be guided by a piece of plastic showing you exactly where to put our teeth. Though this should not be seen as a disadvantage given the great reviews the Zyppah has been given online; it is only a minor difference from other products.
I was very skeptical to buy this device but with the 90-day money back guarantee I figured why not give it a shot. Well, it's been about three weeks now, and I will be returning the device as it does not prevent me from snoring. After molding the device to my mouth I found it very uncomfortable to wear. My jaw was sore, and I was salivating to the point where I couldn't fall asleep. The second night was a little better, and I was able to fall asleep after about 20 minutes. During the first two weeks, it was hit or miss as far as me being able to fall asleep.
After 4+ months use of otc mouthguard, my jaw has started to become painful and tight like what the others experience, especially in the morning. In the evening, even without wearing it, the pain on the side of my face especially near my ears, where the jaw muscles connect, is so painful. Sometimes I also get a weird sensation in my ear (external auditory meatus). What can I do?
Like all such appliances, the zyppah uses mandibular advancement, pushing the lower jaw forward, which brings the tongue forward somewhat, helping to keep the airway clear and reduce the chances of snoring. Going one step further, Greenburg has added an elastic band, or tongue strap, that holds the tongue down, helping to prevent it from slipping backwards.
Online (unsolicited) zyppah reviews report success with the device with the caveat that, as with most jaw-manipulating anti snoring aids, it could take from three to six weeks to acclimate yourself to having a rather large and bulky piece of hardware in your mouth all night long.
Mostly, everyone reported aches in the mandibular joint (the hinge that allows our jaw to move), or in the muscles that control it, over the first several nights. It was also not uncommon to experience excess salivation (drooling) if the device prevented your mouth from fully closing. Some zyppah reviews noted that while men were usually able to close their mouths completely, this was not always possible for women, which exacerbated the drooling problem.
The great thing about it is that, unlike most of the snoring aids that only offer a 30-day warranty, zyppah does offer a 90-day return period, so you can try it out before panicking and returning it within just four weeks. You can also thus consider its durability. Some people reported wear that required replacement after 4-6 months, but some made it last from 12-24 months.
Some zyppah reviews suggest that for a product in this price range it would be appreciated by most if they could increase the durability. Others observed that it helped with bruxism (teeth grinding), so there are both faults and benefits to consider. 041b061a72
