Tongue embracing oral retention device and method of manufacture

A method of using a tongue attachment assembly for retention of an accessory, the method comprising steps of:

• placing a tongue attachment sheath of the tongue attachment assembly onto a tongue of an intended subject, the tongue attachment assembly comprising an air extraction valve extending forward from a distal end of the tongue attachment sheath and an interlock coupling formation formed about a portion of the air extraction valve;
• securing the tongue attachment sheath to the tongue of the intended subject by drawing a vacuum between the tongue attachment sheath and the tongue of the intended subject;
• securing the accessory to the tongue attachment assembly by assembling a tongue position retention bracket assembly formation of the accessory to the interlock coupling formation using a movement in a radial direction,
• wherein the tongue position retention bracket assembly formation is circumferential in shape following a contour of a circumference of over 180 degrees of the interlock coupling formation creating a self retaining interface therebetween.

A method of using a tongue attachment assembly for retention of an accessory, the method comprising steps of:

• placing a tongue attachment sheath of the tongue attachment assembly onto a tongue of an intended subject, the tongue attachment assembly comprising an air extraction tubular passageway extending forward from a distal end of the tongue attachment sheath and an interlock coupling formation formed about a portion of the air extraction tubular passageway;
• determining which sized tongue attachment sheath is optimal by placing different tongue attachment sheaths from a group of multiple sized tongue attachment sheaths;
• placing the tongue attachment sheath that is determined to have the optimal size upon the tongue of the intended subject;
• securing the tongue attachment sheath to the tongue of the intended subject by drawing a vacuum between the tongue attachment sheath and the tongue of the intended subject;
• and
• securing the accessory to the tongue attachment assembly by assembling a tongue position retention bracket assembly formation of the accessory to the interlock coupling formation using a movement in a radial direction.
