Abstract: An oral appliance intended to treat bruxism, snoring, apnea, TMJ and/or palatal lift with a retention line member that uses the interproximal embrasure space between adjacent teeth of the patient user to secure the appliance within the oral cavity as the patient user sleeps. The shape and position of the inter-proximal embrasure space prevents an attached retention line member from dislodging while the user is asleep but permits removal of the appliance upon waking.
