  • Publication number: 20050279365
    Abstract: An anti-snoring piercing in the form of specially designed thin mesh-like symmetric structure resembling a pair of wings connected symmetrically by means of a middle bar-like bridge. A middle bar-like bridge is mounted under the uvula while the two symmetric wing parts are placed over the soft palate and pierced on the soft palate in the mouth to provide stiffness to uvula-soft palate assembly and thus prevent snoring. A stiffening member is attached to the uvula by means of at least one piercing post with a backing or with an adhesive. Each of these embodiments stiffens the uvula and prevents snoring.
