Abstract
An anti-snoring apparatus comprising receptacle structure configured for reception and retention of outer extent of the user's tongue; shield structure shaped to be received and retained on the tongue receptacle structure and positioned just forward of the user's lip or lips, and attachment structure for adjustably attaching the shield structure to the receptacle structure to permit selective adjustment of the position of the receptacle structure relative to the tongue forward extent whereby the tongue may be comfortably positioned and retained in the receptacle structure; whereby snoring is reduced as the tongue is brought forward, out of the mouth, and incremental forward movement of the shield will move the tongue further forward, with lessened airway obstruction.
