Myosa® for Snorers - S1M
The Myosa® for Snorers - S1M is a mouldable variation of the S1 appliance which provides an ‘optimal fit’ for patients who are struggling to keep the appliance at night while sleeping. The S1M alleviates snoring by advancing the jaw and positioning the tongue, which has the effect of opening the airway.
The S1M has two large breathing holes at the front to regulate breathing and encourage nasal breathing as well as a patented Air Spring Core™ to cushion the jaw joint. The moulded construction allows for a custom fit and provides optimum retention for mouth breathers while sleeping.

Moulding your appliance and instructions for use
Step 1
Pour freshly boiled water into a glass bowl. Immediately place the S1M into the water for 60 seconds upside down with base uppermost.
Step 2
Gently lift the S1M from boiled water using a spoon and shake off excess water to bring the surface temperature to a comfortable level. Quickly proceed with the next step.
Step 3
Use a mirror to line up centre of S1M with centre line of upper teeth, then press firmly against your front teeth and molars.
Step 4
Close your mouth while biting down firmly on S1M. Suck in strongly and press edges into your teeth and gumline through the lips and cheeks (continue for 20 seconds).
Step 5
Remove from mouth and cool under tap water for 2 minutes. Reinsert into mouth to check for a firm fit. If necessary, repeat the fitting procedure once S1M has returned to room temperature.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to mould a non-mouldable Myosa® appliance (S1 or S2 ), as it will damage your appliance.

Clean your Myosa® appliance under warm running water every time you remove it from your mouth. Use Myoclean™ tablets weekly to correctly clean your appliance.
