An oral appliance for the medical treatment of specific sleep related disorders, i.e., snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, which ahs 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.

L'invention concerne un dispositif buccal destiné au traitement médical de troubles spécifiques liés au sommeil, par exemple, les ronflements et l'apnée obstructive du sommeil, ledit dispositif comprenant un certain nombre de sections pour chaque composant de la mâchoire qui peut être séparé afin d'être inséré et enlevé facilement par des patients. Les composants séparables peuvent être déplacés le long d'un système de guidage intégral et fixés en toute sécurité en position fermée par un mécanisme de blocage bilatéral. En vertu de la différence des voies d'emplacement de la section principale et des sections séparées de chaque composant, on obtient et maintient une résistance effective au retrait du dispositif. Ceci constitue l'amélioration importante revendiquée de retenue du dispositif.
