Intraoral Orthosis for Mandibular Advancement for Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

摘要

Provided herein is an intraoral orthosis to remedy snoring and/or sleep apnoea via a mandibular advancing action during sleep. Maxilla and mandibular retainers fit the teeth and are coupled with a pair of side retention straps to advance the lower jaw to prevent narrowing of the pharynx. Abutting pairs of planar occlusal faces on the maxilla and mandibular retainers allow lateral and anterioral sliding against each other. A ball engagement couples the retainers to the retention straps at opposing distal ends.
