ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed that can be adapted to fit the dentitions of a user to prevent snoring. The device has a flexible, U-shaped upper member and a flexible, U-shaped lower member each of which have releasable fastening means affixed to them enabling a user to easily and readily adjust the two members relative to one another so as to keep the user's airway passage open and thereby prevent snoring. A moldable material is provided in each of the members so that a user can make an impression of the user's upper and lower dentitions which are then contained permanently in the moldable material which material remains flexible on setting. This assures a snug and comfortable fit for the user when the upper and lower members are inserted into the user's mouth.
