Allegro Medical’s Medical Snore Wizard aims to help people who have snoring problems or who have sleep apnea.  It is easy to use and does not require batteries or anything.  Just fit it in your mouth and it’s ready to go for the night.

The Snore Wizard has undergone a lot of tests which shows that it is 94% effective in treating sleep apnea and snoring.

While the product is expected to last for a longer period, it is recommended that you change your snore wizard after nine months.
