A single dental appliance that both alleviates snoring and protects teeth from bruxism. The appliance (10) has an upper section (12) which is mounted on the upper jaw. Opposing the upper section (12) is a lower section (14) which is mounted on the lower jaw. Both the upper and lower section have an anterior region (16, 18) and two posterior regions (20, 22; 24, 26). A hard outer shell (32, 34) secures in a soft inner liner (28, 30) which conforms with the teeth and cushions the jaw against impact forces. The hard outer shell (32, 34) serves to protect the teeth against grinding. The combination of the liner and the shell distribute forces associated with grinding.
