They are made with a kind of soft plastic which you soften by placing them in hot water, you would then bite into the mouthpiece, molding it to your jaw.
Snore-Ex's anti snoring mouthpiece is an oral appliance also referred to as a Mandibular Advancement Device. The simple custom-fit mouthpiece positions and holds the jaw, opening airways for maximum airflow, thus reducing or eliminating snoring vibrations. More specifically, it provides a forward-positioning for the tongue, which is connected to the lower jaw. This increases airflow and minimizes the most common snoring cause - soft palette vibrations in the rear of the mouth. This is for adults only.

Do These Mouth Piece Really work?
The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine has recently identified oral appliances as an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A 2001 study in Switzerland found oral appliances effective in treating sleep apnea. Side effects were only "mildly disturbing": mucosal dryness (86% of patients), tooth discomfort (59%), and excessive salivation (55%).
A similar study in the UK of 25 heavy snorers found that use mouthpieces, was effective in reducing snoring loudness for 84 per cent of the subjects while 76 per cent said they were snoring on fewer nights per week.
