The invention relates to a mandibular advancement device (1; 20) and to a method and a kit for producing said device, which comprises a dental splint (2) and at least one plastic crosspiece (5; 21) with two ends (7) provided with a groove (9) connected to a respective cylindrical portion (11) of a side projection (10) of the dental splint (2) in an articulated manner. The groove (9) is closed and is longer than the diameter of the cylindrical portion (11) which can therefore move along the groove (9). The crosspiece (5; 21) acts by means of traction between the cylindrical portions (11) of the dental splint (2) in order to prevent the lower portion (4) from moving back freely in relation to the upper portion (3) of the dental splint (2) and therefore to treat apnea, while allowing a certain amount of advancement and sideways movement of the lower portion (4), which is comfortable for the user. |
