Abstract: The present invention relates to an oral device for treatment of sleep disordered breathing that includes an upper body in which at least a part of upper teeth is housed; a lower body in which at least a part of the lower teeth is housed; at least one or more elastic members that connect the upper body and the lower body to provide the elastic force in a direction in which the upper body and the lower body come closer to each other; and a support jaw that protrudes downward from the rear end of the upper body to support the rear end of the lower body. Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the sleep disordered breathing such as an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome that may occur during sleep, enable a patient to more comfortably wear, and minimize the discomfort in a state of wearing.
