ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for treatment of snoring and apnea. The method provides the steps of regulating the flow of air through the mouth of the user to an extent comparable to the volume of air which flows through the user's nasal passages. The apparatus provides a device having a body portion sufficiently wide to separate the user's teeth and provided with an air passsage comparable in area to the area of the user's nasal passages. In a preferred form of the invention the user is able to seal the air passage with his tongue to completely suppress the flow of air through the mouth and to control the turbulence of the air meeting the nasal inspiration.
