Embodiment Construction

[0059] will now refer to Figure 1A to Figure 1H Describe examples of respiratory devices.

[0060] In this example, the breathing assistance apparatus includes an oral appliance having a body shaped to be positioned at least partially within an oral cavity of a user. The body includes an bite configured to receive teeth of a user in use. While a single bite may be provided, it is more common to provide an upper bite 112 and a lower bite 122 to receive upper and lower teeth, respectively.
