Oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea

Conclusion and RelevanceCustom-made and titratable OAs are indicated for adult OSA patients who do not tolerate or who are not good candidates for CPAP. A multidisciplinary approach allows to establish the least possible amount of mandibular advancement while achieving the highest reduction of OSA severity, thus optimizing the treatment effectiveness, reducing the occurrence of side effects and decreasing the risk of treatment discontinuation.
