A dental appliance (102) attached to predetermined teeth of an upper jaw of a patient includes a constrainment mechanism (106, 107) positioned above a patient's tongue, wherein the constrainment mechanism is shaped to limit movement of a posterior zone (35) of the patient's tongue (10). The constrainment mechanism allows at least an anterior zone and lateral edges of the patient's tongue to perform movements necessary for speech and swallowing. |
