ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for intra-oral use including a framework having an upper curved platform and a lower curved platform, each of the platforms being defined by two walls extending from and separated by a floor, a material bonded to the upper and lower curved platform adapted to be molded in a shape suitable for relatively snugly receiving maxillary teeth of a user and for relatively loosely receiving mandibular teeth of the user when the user's mouth is closed in a normal closing arch, and a cavity formed between the upper and lower platforms adapted to receive the tongue of the user. The apparatus may also include an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a position of the upper platform with respect to the lower platform.
