    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed toward a guided airway device for insertion into a user's mouth that includes an upper row of teeth and lower row of teeth, the upper and lower rows of teeth including front teeth. The guided airway device includes a lower appliance that generally conforms to and at least partially covers the user's lower row of teeth, the lower appliance having two ends such that an approximate center point is disposed adjacent the user's front teeth. The guided airway device also includes an upper appliance that generally conforms to and at least partially covers the user's upper row of teeth, the upper appliance having two ends such that an approximate center point is disposed adjacent the user's front teeth. The guided airway device further includes a guide that laterally biases the upper and lower appliances so as to laterally separate the user's upper and lower front teeth.
