ABSTRACT:
Snore reducing device 10 includes the combination of left and right gripping portions 12 and 14 and arch section 20. Each gripping portion 12 and 14 is configured for gripping between a user's upper and lower molars and has a wedge shape which is thicker in front. Raised side edges 16 and 18 and use of thermo-deformable material for compliant shaping to the user's molar surfaces aid in providing a comfortable fit during sleep. The arch section 20 extends upward from and between the gripping portions 12 and 14. Arch section 20 is shaped to fit adjacent to upper elements of the user's mouth in contact or spaced relationship. The snore reducing devices described do not include any front portion extending between the user's incisors to inhibit air flow into or out of the mouth during sleep.
