摘要
A sleep apnea device having top and bottom trays, as well as a method of use thereof, is disclosed herein. Each tray is adapted to be retained on respective top and bottom teeth, the bottom tray having two flanges extending upwards from a generally planar side of the bottom tray, opposite a side which abuts the teeth. As such, when worn, the flanges extend toward the top tray. The top tray has corresponding flat regions on each side thereof which cut into the outside (relative to the teeth) plane of the tray. The flanges thus abut such flat regions on the outer side of the upper tray, pushing the lower tray and, therefore, lower teeth and tongue forward. A wearer may then sleep wearing the trays, prevent obstruction of the airways by the tongue during sleep.
