A chin and neck support device includes a chin support (1) with a chest pad (2), both are connected to a telescopic rod (3) which keeps the mouth closed and the head in an erect position. To keep the rod central, a malleable "U" shaped frame (4), with both arms being parallel to the sides of the neck, is attached to the front of the telescopic rod (3). A padded strap (7) is provided behind the neck and is attached to affixed Velcro (or another means of attachment) on both arms (6) of the "U" shaped frame to hold the device securely and comfortably in a central position so that the pressure holding the device is distributed equally across the back of the neck. The "U" shaped frame does not interfere with swallowing or breathing.
