The cheek path airway fits a path between a users lips and through the users cheek pouch and rear-jaw gap, avoiding the users bite. It provides supplemental air to a users rear-mouth cavity independently of a users nasal airways while a users lips remain closed. The airway can be used in combination with mandibular jaw-control and tongue-control devices whereby the combination mitigates breathing restrictions in a users nasal and throat airways. The cheek path airway can be combined with and stabilized by a cheek pocket anchor, formed of a resilient filament, that fits within a users cheek pouch.
