Provided is a device which effectively improves obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), which places a small psychosomatic burden on the patient, and which is unlikely to cause a decrease in compliance or adverse side effects. The tongue position controller of the present invention includes: a mounting portion composed of a splint applied to a lower jaw dentition, and a capsule which is arranged on an inner curved portion of an upper surface of the splint, which is composed so as to cover at least a portion of a tongue when the splint is applied to the lower jaw dentition, and which has a through hole positioned at a tip of the tongue when the splint is applied; a pressure generating device that generates a negative pressure; and a tube that connects the through hole and the pressure generating device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif capable d'améliorer efficacement le syndrome d'apnée obstructrice du sommeil (OSAS) tout en réduisant la charge psychosomatique imposée au patient et en restreignant la production d'effets secondaires et l'abaissement de lobservance. Le dispositif de contrôle de la position de la langue comprend une pièce de montage constituée d'une éclisse appliquée sur la dentition de la mâchoire inférieure et d'une capsule qui est prévue sur la partie incurvée intérieure de la surface supérieure de l'éclisse de manière à couvrir au moins une partie de la langue lorsque l'éclisse est appliquée sur la dentition de la mâchoire inférieure, et qui est traversée par un trou situé sur la partie d'extrémité de pointe de la langue lorsque l'éclisse est appliquée, un générateur de pression qui délivre une pression négative et un tube qui relie le trou traversant au générateur de pression.
