Abstract

A snore stopper for the upper and lower teeth inside the oral cavity to occlude, having an upper brace, a lower brace, and a connection member. The upper brace and the lower brace have retaining wall and occlusion part respectively for positioning the upper teeth and the lower teeth and making the teeth bear force evenly and making the upper jaw extend forwardly, capable of preventing the soft tissue of the throat from sinking toward the breathing passage and narrow the breathing passage, avoiding the air resistance inside the breathing passage from getting larger, thereby reducing the sound caused by the vibration of the mucosal membrane or secretion inside breathing passage, so as to prevent snore effectively. The snore stopper is made of elastic material and integrally formed, eliminating the production process of connecting the upper and lower braces. Moreover, the snore stopper can be elastically deformed when occluded, so that there is no need to prepare tooth mold to meet a user's tooth shape, thus greatly reduce the manufacturing cost and enhance the comfort of wearing as well.
