Claim Text:
1. An anti-snoring oral device comprising: separate one-piece upper and lower trays, the upper tray defining an upper tray plane, the lower tray defining a lower tray plane, each tray having an incisor portion, left and right canine portions, and left and right molar portions, the trays made of identical medically-approved polymeric material conformable to the incisor, canine, and molar portions; the lower tray comprising a left and a right arcuate canine extension formed integrally with the lower tray and projecting perpendicularly away from the lower tray and toward the left and right upper canine portions, each left and right arcuate canine extension having a top arcuate surface transitioning uniformly in height from a maximum at the left and right lower canine portions downward to planar left and right lower molar portions; the upper tray comprising a left and a right arcuate molar extension formed integrally with the upper tray and projecting perpendicularly away from the upper tray and toward the left and right lower molar portions, each left and right arcuate molar extension having a matching bottom arcuate surface transitioning uniformly in depth from a minimum depth at the left and right upper canine portions and increasing in depth to matching planar left and right upper molar portions of constant depth; the bottom arcuate surfaces of the left and right arcuate molar extensions and the top arcuate surfaces of the left and right arcuate canine extensions mating at left and right forward-inclined ramps behind the left and right lower canine portions and forward of the planar left and right lower molar portions, the left and right forward-inclined ramps at an equal non-zero angle to the lower tray plane; and the constant depth of the planar left and right upper molar portions sufficient to produce a gap between upper and lower incisor tray portions when the bottom arcuate surfaces of the left and right arcuate molar extensions impinge on the top arcuate surfaces of the left and right arcuate canine extensions.
