1. An anti-snoring mouthguard, comprising:
a mouthpiece portion having a bottom wall and a pair of side walls opposite and parallel to one another and extending upwardly from the bottom wall so as to define a channel having a hemispherical configuration complementary to a shape of the user's teeth;
wherein said pair of side walls are continuous walls, respectively, and have a pair of rear ends that are terminal and that are open;
a bridge extending between said rear ends of said mouthpiece portion, said bridge including (1) an upper portion having a linear configuration and defining an upper slot and (2) a lower portion having a linear configuration and defining a lower slot that is coupled to a bottom side of said upper portion, said upper portion and said lower portion each having opposed ends coupled to said rear ends of said mouthpiece portion, respectively;
a tongue depressor portion having a proximal end, said tongue depressor portion having a body coupled to said proximal end and that extends away from said rear ends of said mouthpiece portion and at a downward angle;
a selector coupled to said proximal end and extending upwardly through said lower and upper slots, said selector defining upper and lower threaded apertures;
a fastener positioned longitudinally in said lower slot and extending threadably through a selected one of said upper and lower threaded apertures so as to determine a vertical distance between said tongue depressor portion and said mouthpiece portion,
