Abstract
A device (8) for improving a user's breathing includes an oral appliance (10) and a connecting post (20) coupled to the oral appliance (10). The connecting post (20) has an arm (22) providing a standard interface to engage cooperatively shaped openings (40, 42) in other components (24, 26, 44, 60) each designed to improve the user's breathing in at least one respect. A CPAP interface (44) coupled to the arm (22) may deliver a gas to the user's nose to improve the user's breathing. A venting seal (24) coupled to the arm (22) may reduce venting of the gas from the user's mouth to further improve the user's breathing. The CPAP interface (44) may include a pair of nasal pillows (30) that seat within a portion of the user's nose to deliver the gas to the user. A pair of tubes (48) are coupled to the nasal pillows (30). A pair of joints (50) coupled to the tubes (48) allow the positions of the tubes (48) to be adjusted as appropriate to adjustably position the nasal pillows (30) within the user's nose.
