ANTI-SNORING DEVICE

The present invention is in the field of medical technology and relates to devices for preventing or alleviating snoring and apnea problems insofar as they can be attributed to what is known as snoring at the base of the tongue. In order to provide that they are easier and more comfortable to use and more effective than, for example, classic protrusion splints, but also do not cause the risk of a gag reflex, a connection system between the tongue and teeth is proposed that causes a retentive grab on the surface of the tongue by means of a rough surface facing the tongue, in particular by many small tips, which is characterized in that it contains a slide-on element for sliding onto several teeth on the left and right side of the upper jaw or the lower jaw, and comprises at least a respective one hook in its right- and left-sided molar areas or in its canine tooth areas, each for generating a form-fitting connection between the slide-on element and an undercut location on the respective row of teeth, with one such device being used in the upper jaw and one in the lower jaw, and permanent magnets located on the outside in housings (70) attract each other and hold the tongue firmly in place. Ridges (100) arranged equidistantly on the housings (70) allow a freely selectable, comfortable protrusion of the lower jaw.
