  • Publication number: 20230172749
    Abstract: A single tray sleep apnea oral appliance which includes a hard plastic dental tray, a soft material in the tray for receiving a subject's teeth, a rigid transpalatal bar extending between the left and right sides of the dental tray, and a tongue restrainer having at least two spaced-apart wires extending from the posterior side of the transpalatal bar and a hard plastic tongue-contacting portion attached at the distal end of the wires. The tongue-contacting portion has smooth edges, a rounded posterior end, and a width between its right side and left side greater than the space between the wires, providing greater comfort and user safety, while the wires provide flexibility to vertically position the tongue restrainer and mechanical strength to maintain the tongue restrainer in place once positioned so that a subject's tongue can be prevented from blocking the subject's airway.
