an Oral Airway Device is a retainer like device made by a dentist working in conjunction with a sleep specialist to help open the airway of someone who has obstructive sleep apnea. The device uses the teeth to move the lower jaw forward to open space in the throat for air to pass more normally and not causing the person to wake up gasping for air.
