For users of the Performance Mouthpiece, position your tongue forward beneath the front intake bar, which is located just behind your teeth. Ensure that your tongue rests below this bar, not on top of it. If you're using the Recovery Mouthpiece, there's no need to position your tongue under the front intake bar. Allow your tongue to naturally advance forward. For many users, the tongue will naturally press against the roof of the mouth during sleep, and this is perfectly acceptable.
