An oral appliance for the medical treatment of specific sleep related disorders, i.e., snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, which has a number of sections for each jaw component which can be separated for ease of insertion and removal by patients. The separable components can be moved along an inherent guidance system and safely secured in the closed position by a bilateral locking mechanism. By virtue of the difference in paths of location of the main and the separate sections of each component, effective resistance to dislodgement of the appliance is obtained and maintained. This constitutes the claimed significant improvement in appliance retention.
