PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snore prevention instrument capable of preventing a mouth from opening while sleeping and preventing snores.SOLUTION: A snore prevention instrument includes: a locking member 3 which is formed roughly in a U shape and disposed along a dentition so as to cover the back side of teeth; and protective parts 5 and 5 which are consecutively connected to both right and left ends of the locking member 3 and cover the occlusal surface of right and left molars. The protective part 5 includes: a first lower side piece 10 consecutively connected to both right and left ends 3a and 3a of the roughly belt-like locking member 3; a plate-like piece 11 extending from an upper end of the first lower side piece 10 to the outer side in a right-left direction; an upper side outer piece 13 and a lower side outer piece 15 extending upwards and downwards in a rectangular plate shape from the end on the outer side in the right-left direction of the plate-like piece 11; and an upper side inner piece 17 extending upwards in the rectangular plate shape from the end on the inner side in the right-left direction of each plate-like piece 11. A center part 11a of the plate-like piece 11 is projected upwards in a chevron shape and formed along a longitudinal direction, and when loads are applied from an upper part to the center part 11a, the upper side outer piece 13 and the upper side inner piece 17 are inclined so as to get close to each other. |
