摘要
A non-surgical oral appliance for improving breathing, and abating or completely alleviating snoring sounds, TMJ and bruxism while sleeping. In one embodiment the user is professionally fitted for the appliance such that the appliance positions the mandible in an open, protrusive, predetermined position such that the oral airway permits the enhanced passage of air. In another embodiment the user is “self” fitted and there in may customize the appliance in the home or like setting such that the appliance positions the mandible in an open, protrusive position such that the oral airway permits the enhanced passage of air. Either appliance embodiment may have either a bi-lateral attachment means or anterior means wherein each appliance may have upper and lower surfaces that cover and mold to the respective shape(s) and in contour with the user's teeth. Positioned upon these upper and lower surfaces, either bi-laterally or anteriorly, are attachment means. These attachment means are further positioned and adjusted to provide the optimum oral opening coupled with comfort.
