Review of oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea

Oral appliance therapy has emerged as a treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Historically, healthcare providers have questioned the efficacy of oral appliance therapy. This review investigates whether oral appliance design matters; do different oral appliance designs demonstrate different efficacy rates? To the authors' knowledge, this is the first review to focus exclusively on scientific articles reporting oral appliance treatment success as a residual apnea-hypopnea index of less than 10 events per hour.
