ABSTRACT:
An anti-snoring device inserted between the gums and lips of a user. The device comprises a flexible, elongate oval membrane having a handle located centrally of one side of the membrane to facilitate easy placement into and removal from the mouth. The handle depends from the membrane at a junction of approximately one-quarter inch long, which allows the membrane more uniformly to flex or bend when placed into the mouth of a user. In the same side of the membrane containing the handle, a pair of score grooves are formed at a one-eighth inch intervals from the perimeter of the membrane. A pair of outer score guides, which extend between the perimeter of the membrane and the outer score groove, and a pair of inner score guides, which extend between the inner and outer score grooves, facilitate easy trimming of the device to fit the mouth of any user. The four score guides allow the membrane to be trimmed four times, for a total possible reduction of one-half inch in length and one-half inch in height.
