When a person wears the Sleep Coach’s Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece the signal is not disrupted by snoring and the line does not go flat.
No. 4,304,227 and 4,676,24 During use of these mouthpieces, a user’s tongue is substantially maintained in this forward position which is considered awkward and uncomfortable to the user. It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved mouthpiece device for use in the prevention of snoring and the minimization of sleep apnea which overcomes the drawbacks of the above-discussed prior art.
This invention pertains to the art of anti-snore devices and, more specifically, to a mouthpiece intended to alleviate benign loud snoring and to minimize mild to moderate sleep apnea disorders.
Side effects were only “mildly disturbing”: mucosal dryness , tooth discomfort , and excessive salivation . A similar study in the UK of 25 heavy snorers found that use of “mandibular advancement appliances,” i.e., mouthpieces, was effective in reducing snoring loudness for 84 per cent of the subjects while 76 per cent said they were snoring on fewer nights per week.
I tried the Snorban’ mouthpiece and discovered that the mouthpiece not only eliminated my snoring, but the sleep apnea disappeared as well. The FDA believes that if you had obstructive sleep apnea but didn’t know it, you would be relieved of it as a side benefit of using the SnorBan’ Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece to eliminate your snoring.
Custom fitted mouthpieces that dentists supply are less comfortable, cost at least $5000 and most dental plans don’t cover the treatment.
The Sleep Coach’s Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece gently keeps your mouth in the right position to prevent the soft tissues in your upper airway from vibrating.
The air is being restricted by the soft tissue, tonsils, adenoids and uvula in your upper airway.
“All published clinical studies in which snoring was assessed, representing a variety of oral devices, show improvement in a high proportion of users.”

Do mouthpieces work?
Probably not.
After the mouthpiece 1 has been fitted to a user’s mouth and cooled to ambient temperature so as to no longer be soft, extension 38 can be removed from airway passage 2
The mouthpiece is provided with inner and outer upstanding wall portions which surround the front and rear of the maxillary teeth of the user in order to provide a comfortable and non-slip fit. Based on the above description, it can be readily seen that the present anti-snore device constitutes a mouthpiece which can be easily made to comfortably conform to a user’s mouth, held against unwanted movement during use since the base 5 covers substantially the entire maxillary dentition and the entire mandibular dentition and treads 10 provide additional surface material so that the mouthpiece actually becomes indigited with the user’s entire maxillary dentition.
Base 5 is intended to extend rearward substantially the entire dentition length of the user’s mouth to also provide for a more secure fit.
A further object of the invention is to provide a means to handle the mouthpiece when it is being molded to conform to the specific shape of a user’s mouth and which maintains the integrity of the airway passage during the molding process. These and other objects of the invention are realized by providing a mouthpiece made from a thermoplastic material which can be heated to a softened state, inserted into a user’s mouth, and thereby molded to conform to the specific jaw structure of the user.
The invention further includes a handle, preferably made from acrylic, used to aid in protecting the user during the initial fitting process. 2 and 3, handle 30 includes an upper portion 32 adapted to be held by the user during the initial fitting process of mouthpiece 1, an intermediate portion 34 and a lower portion 3 Since extension 38 is generally symmetrical, handle 30 may be utilized with mouthpiece 1 during the initial fitting process in the upright position as shown in FIG.
As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mouthpiece 1 includes a front face 22 and rear face 2 The anti-snore device comprises a mouthpiece formed from a moldable thermal-plastic material having an upper surface portion which substantially covers the entire maxillary dentition and a lower surface portion which contacts substantially the entire mandible dentition of a user’s mouth.
As previously stated, mouthpiece is formed from a thermoplastic material and can be molded to conform to the specific shape of a user’s mouth. A user can then insert the softened mouthpiece 1 into his/her mouth and, while biting down, the mouthpiece 1 will begin to conform to the user’s mouth.
Elbow member 54 is intended to support the handle 30 and mouthpiece 1 on a convention pot during the heating process by being placed about the pot’s rim. Stabilizing member 60 is adapted to abut an interior side of the pot in order to prevent shifting of the handle 30 and mouthpiece Provided is a handle which may be utilized when heating and conforming the mouthpiece to a user’s mouth.
Each tab 42, 44 also includes a sloped portion 50, 52 which aids in the proper positioning of the mouthpiece during the fitting process as will be described more fully below.
Many doctors will tell you that the most successful methods to eliminate snoring are jaw positioners or CPAP machines.
