Disclosed is a multi-directional jaw displacement oral appliance that includes an upper arch tray assembly coupled to a user's upper set of teeth and a lower arch tray assembly coupled to the user's lower set of teeth. An intermediate arch tray assembly is located between the upper and lower arch tray assemblies. The upper arch tray assembly is connected to the intermediate arch tray assembly by a hinge such that the upper arch tray assembly cannot be separated from the intermediate arch tray assembly and the upper arch tray assembly is rotatable through an angle with the user's upper set of teeth upwardly relative to the intermediate and lower arch tray assemblies. The lower arch tray assembly is adapted to move with the user's lower set of teeth in a horizontal direction by which the position of the user's lower jaw is adjusted to maintain an airway to the user's throat.
A jaw displacement oral appliance configured to be inserted in a month of a user to adjust the position of the user's lower jaw relative to the user's upper jaw so as to maintain an open airway to the user's throat through which the user can breathe while sleeping, said jaw displacement oral appliance comprising:
