Quick Answer: The SnoreRx Plus is a clinically-designed, adjustable mandibular advancement device (MAD) that reduces snoring by gently moving the lower jaw forward to open the airway. It ships to Canada, costs around $99-149 USD, and comes with a 30-night trial. Reviews are largely positive for simple snoring , though jaw soreness is common early on, and it is not approved for sleep apnea treatment.

Snoring affects roughly 45% of adults occasionally and 25% habitually, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. It disrupts the snorer's sleep stages and can significantly impact a partner's sleep. Finding a practical, affordable solution that doesn't require a prescription is something a lot of Canadians search for.
The SnoreRx Plus is one of the more well-reviewed over-the-counter anti-snoring devices available , and it's available to Canadian buyers. Here's an honest look at what it does and doesn't do.
What Is the SnoreRx Plus?
The SnoreRx Plus is a mandibular advancement device (MAD) , a category of oral appliance that reduces snoring by repositioning the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. This forward position tightens the soft tissues and muscles at the back of the throat, reducing the vibration that causes the snoring sound.
The "Plus" version improves on the original SnoreRx by allowing vertical jaw movement , meaning you can open your mouth slightly during sleep without the device disengaging. This is a meaningful upgrade over many MADs, which force the jaw shut and can feel constrictive.
Key specifications:
- Material: FDA-cleared copolymer plastic with Thermal Matrix custom fitting
- Adjustment range: 0 to 6mm, in 1mm increments
- Custom fit: heat-and-bite mould process
- Vertical articulation: yes (unique to Plus version)
The Research on MADs
Mandibular advancement devices are well-studied. A systematic review in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (Vanderveken et al., 2013) found MADs significantly reduce snoring loudness and frequency, and improve sleep quality for bed partners. A 2021 Cochrane review confirmed MADs reduce the apnoea-hypopnoea index in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, though CPAP remains the gold standard for diagnosed sleep apnoea cases. For simple, positional, or primary snoring , which is the majority of snoring cases , MADs are a practical, evidence-based intervention.

How MADs Stop Snoring
Snoring occurs when the muscles in the upper airway relax during sleep. The tongue and soft palate fall back slightly, narrowing the airway. Breathing forces air through this narrowed passage, causing the characteristic vibration.
By advancing the lower jaw 2 to 6mm forward, a MAD like SnoreRx Plus pulls the tongue and associated muscles slightly forward with it, opening the airway enough to reduce or eliminate the vibration. The effect is mechanical rather than pharmacological , no drugs, no side effects beyond initial jaw adjustment.
SnoreRx Plus vs. Original SnoreRx
| Feature | SnoreRx (Original) | SnoreRx Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical jaw movement | No | Yes |
| Calibration precision | 1mm increments | 1mm increments |
| Custom fit | Yes (boil and bite) | Yes (Thermal Matrix) |
| Mouth breather friendly | Somewhat | Better , vertical flex allows opening |
| Price (approx. USD) | $99 | $119-149 |
| Trial period | 30 nights | 30 nights |
For mouth breathers or people who shift jaw position during sleep, the Plus version is notably better. For nose breathers with simple snoring, the original may suffice at lower cost.
SnoreRx in Canada: What to Know
SnoreRx ships directly to Canada. At the time of writing, prices are listed in USD , at current exchange rates, a SnoreRx Plus runs approximately $165-210 CAD before shipping. Shipping to Canada typically adds $15-30 USD.
SnoreRx products are not available in Canadian pharmacies or retail stores, so purchasing through the official SnoreRx website (snorerx.com) or authorised US retailers is your only option. The 30-night trial covers the product cost but not return shipping from Canada.
Health Canada does not require specific certification for non-medical snoring devices used by adults without sleep apnoea , however, if you have diagnosed sleep apnoea, consult your sleep physician before using any OTC oral appliance.

Snoring and Your Sleep Setup
Before investing in an oral device, it's worth ruling out environmental contributors to snoring , because several common ones are addressable without purchasing anything.
Sleep position: Sleeping on your back is the most common snoring aggravator. Gravity pulls the tongue and soft palate backward, narrowing the airway. Side sleeping can reduce or eliminate mild snoring in many people. A body pillow can help maintain a side sleeping position through the night.
Pillow height: A pillow that's too flat or too thick tilts the head and neck in ways that compress the airway. The correct pillow height keeps the head neutral relative to the spine , this varies by sleep position and shoulder width.
Mattress firmness: A mattress that's too soft can cause the body to sink unevenly, rotating the head and neck in ways that increase airway restriction. People who are side sleepers on an overly soft mattress often experience the hips sinking more than the shoulders, twisting the spine and indirectly affecting the airway.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: "We regularly talk to couples where one partner's snoring is disrupting both people's sleep. The first thing I always ask about is sleep position. Quite often, switching from back to side sleeping , and getting a pillow that actually supports that position , makes a significant difference before anyone spends money on a device."

The SnoreRx Plus is a mandibular advancement device that holds the lower jaw forward during sleep to prevent airway collapse, with micro-adjustable settings that allow 1mm increments of jaw advancement for personalized comfort. Mattress Miracle at 441½ West Street in Brantford carries anti-snore pillows as a complement to oral appliances. Brad recommends trying the SnoreRx alongside a side-sleeping pillow, as combining jaw advancement with lateral positioning provides dual-mechanism snoring reduction that is more effective than either approach alone.

Does SnoreRx Plus actually work?
For primary (simple) snoring, yes , user reviews and the broader research on MADs show meaningful reductions in snoring loudness and frequency. Many users report improvement from the first night, with optimal results after calibrating the jaw advancement over the first week. It is not effective for all snoring causes (especially nasal obstruction) and is not approved for sleep apnoea.
Can I buy SnoreRx Plus in Canada?
Not in stores. SnoreRx ships directly to Canada from the US through their website. Factor in USD-to-CAD conversion and international shipping when calculating the total cost. Canadian customers are responsible for return shipping costs if using the 30-night trial refund option.
How long does SnoreRx Plus last?
Approximately 11 months with regular nightly use. The plastic wears down from the mechanical stress of jaw movement and nightly clenching. SnoreRx recommends replacement after this period , which adds to the long-term cost compared to a dentist-fitted device that may last 2 to 5 years.
Is SnoreRx Plus safe for sleep apnoea?
SnoreRx Plus is not approved for sleep apnoea treatment. If you've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea, consult your sleep physician before using any over-the-counter oral appliance. A custom-fitted MAD prescribed and monitored by a dentist or sleep specialist is the appropriate intervention for sleep apnoea.
What is the difference between SnoreRx and SnoreRx Plus?
The main difference is vertical articulation. The Plus version allows the jaw to open slightly during sleep , important for mouth breathers and people who naturally open their mouths at night. Both share the same 1mm calibration system and custom thermal fit. The Plus is priced approximately $20-50 USD higher than the original.
