Magnetic structures develop a magnetic force between a tongue and a posterior pharyngeal wall to stabilize an orientation of the tongue. The magnetic structures (12, 14), includes magnetic materials that are sized, configured and arranged on at least one of the first and second magnetic structures (12, 14), to maintain a substantially mutually repelling orientation between the first and second magnetic structures (12, 14), during a native range of movement of the tongue relative to the pharyngeal wall during swallowing and/or drinking and/or speech. |
