A system for preventing snoring and sleep apnea, the system comprising: a first element (18) and a second element (20) magnetically attracted to each other; wherein the first element (18) is implanted in a patient's tongue (14) that turns to pharynx (16) of the patient; means for continuously adjusting a magnetic attraction between said first element (18) and said second element (20) without relocating the magnetic elements (18, 20); holding means (22), for holding the second element (20), on the exterior front side of the neck of the patient, thereby placing the second element (20) in vicinity with the first element (18); thereby a magnetic attraction of the first and second elements to each other pulls the first element (18) along with the tongue (14) away from the trachea (26), resulting in keeping open the airway of the patient. |
