Abstract: A non-surgical oral appliance for improving breathing, and abating or completely alleviating snoring sounds and symptoms while sleeping. The patient is pre-tested and pre-fitted for the appliance so that appliance positions the mandible in an open position and protrusive position to hold the mouth partially open. The appliance has a right and left extension wherein each extension has upper and lower surfaces pre-molded to the contour of the patient's back teeth. A bridge connects the right and left extensions having been pre-molded to conform to the upper palate of the patient's mouth. The upper and lower surfaces of each extension are spaced to provide optimum mouth height that was pre-tested to alleviate the snoring sound. Upon insertion, the appliance facilitates an air passage for breathing and also allows the patient to talk while remaining virtually invisible to an observer.
