  • Publication number: 20220409425
    Abstract: An oral appliance allows the mandible to move forward, without putting strain on the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles, so that the oral appliance may be worn for a long time during sleep, thereby improving snoring. In addition, the oral appliance allows the tongue to move forward together with the mandible so that the tongue is naturally placed in the anterior region of the palate to induce conversion of mouth breathing to nasal breathing, thereby improving both snoring and sleep apnea.

  • Publication number: 20190125573
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oral appliance, and more specifically, to an oral appliance that may remain fastened to the teeth for a long time by co-using a fastening portion and an assistant fastening portion on the molars. According to the present invention, the oral appliance co-uses a first fastening portion that provides a fastening by friction against the molars and a second fastening portion that provides a fastening by a fastening protrusion to remain fastened to the user's teeth although the frictional fastening force weakens over time. The second fastening portion may be configured of a circular protrusion, subjecting the oral appliance to a tiny movement even when worn, and increasing convenience.
