Intraoral Orthosis for Mandibular Advancement for Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

An intraoral orthosis, comprising:

• a maxilla retainer;
• a mandibular retainer;
• a pair of side retention straps coupling the maxilla retainer to the mandibular retainer, each retention strap spanning between an interior canine region of the maxilla retainer to a posterior molar region of the mandibular retainer and each retention strap comprising an elongate portion wherein:
• the maxilla and mandibular retainers comprise respectively abutting pairs of planar maxilla and mandibular retainer occlusal faces facilitating at least lateral sliding of the mandibular retainer against the maxilla retainer;
• and
• the retainers are coupled to the retention straps by couplings at opposing distal ends thereof wherein each coupling comprises:
• a lateral retainer buttress comprising an opening to a semi-spherical socket therein;
• and
• a medial retention strap ball engagement, the ball engagement comprising:
• a medial rod extending substantially perpendicularly to the elongate portion and terminating in a medial semispherical ball head, the ball head configured for insertion through the buttress opening for engagement and rotatable coupling within the semispherical socket.
