Patent ID: 8800568

Claim:
A teeth separating system ( 200 ) to abate the grinding of teeth while sleeping consisting of: a base section ( 202 ) in an arcuate configuration with a front portion positionable between the front teeth of a user and laterally spaced rear portions positionable between the rear teeth of the user, the base section having upper and lower surfaces separated by a thickness, the base section having an arcuate exterior periphery ( 210 ) with laterally spaced rear points ( 208 ), the rear points being laterally spaced by a first length, the base section having an arcuate interior periphery ( 212 ) generally concentric with the arcuate exterior periphery, the base section having a width between the arcuate interior periphery and the arcuate exterior periphery, the base section having a depth, the interior arcuate periphery ( 210 ) and the exterior arcuate periphery ( 212 ) being laterally spaced a greater distance adjacent to the laterally spaced rear points ( 208 ) and the rear teeth than forwardly of the laterally spaced rear points adjacent to the front portion and the front teeth; and a support section ( 204 ) in an arcuate configuration, the support section having inner and outer surfaces, the support section having end points ( 206 ) spaced forwardly of the rear points ( 208 ) of the base section, the inner and outer surfaces being separated by a thickness, the support section having a free first edge and a second edge separated by a height, the end points of the support section being laterally spaced by a second distance, the second distance being greater than the first length, the support section being perpendicular to and integrally formed with the base section at the arcuate exterior periphery; the base section and the support section being fabricated in one piece of a material chosen from elasticity, the materials consisting of silicone, latex, plastic or organic materials.
