ABSTRACT:
An anti-snoring device has a dental overlay portion and a guide ramp portion slidably mounted in the dental portion. The dental overlay is professionally fitted on a user's upper teeth. The guide ramp portion comfortably fits on the user's lower jaw to cause advancement of the lower jaw and tongue to thereby open the airway. The position of the ramp relative to the dental overly is locked in place with a sliding tabbed lock which fits into notches provided on an elongated stick secured to the guide ramp. The guide ramp permits lateral motion so that the lower jaw and TMJ have freedom of movement laterally so that they do not become sore and stiff.
