Type: article
Abstract: Oral appliances are the main alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). Treatment of OSA with oral appliance (OA) could provide an equivalent healthbenefit to achieve the best possible health outcomes. But not all outcome of OA treatment is successful. The challenge of predicting which patients will not receive therapeutic benefit from OA remains a barrier to the morewidespread use of this therapy. This review summarizes some of the putative action mechanisms related to oralappliance effectiveness, side effects and its management, and on patient acceptability and treatment adherenceare discussed.
