Apparatus for reducing obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and/or nasal drainage. One apparatus includes an upper member (2) fitting surfaces of a user's upper dentition, and a lower member (4) fitting a user's lower dentition. Lower member (4) includes molar extensions (20, 24) projecting away from lower member (4). Upper member (2) includes upper molar extensions (22, 26) projecting away from upper member (2) and toward lower molar extensions (20, 24). Upper right (26) and lower right (24) extensions impinge on one another in overlapping fashion, as do molar upper left (22) and lower left (20) extensions. Upper and lower members (2, 4) have an anterior shape to form a gap (G1) sufficient for the user's tongue to extend into the gap. Each molar extension may include a magnet (28, 30, 32, 34). Methods of using theapparatus and kits to reduce sleep apnea, snoring, and/or nasal drainage. |
