Abstract
An oral appliance for use by a subject while wearing a nasal CPAP mask having an occlusal opening between a buccal portion and a lingual portion of a dental tray which allows centric occlusion. The upper and lower receptacle portions of the tray have interproximal protrusions to provide intimate contact between the appliance and a user's teeth to assist in retaining the user's jaws in place and prevent them from opening. The appliance includes buccal wall which extends into the vestibule of the user's mouth to assist in creating an intraoral seal.
