摘要：

A variety of oral appliances (OA) are now available for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OA therapy is effective in some patients with mild to moderate OSA and is associated with greater patient satisfaction than nasal CPAP. Adjustable OA are associated with improved treatment success and fewer compliance failures compared to non-adjustable OA. Large randomized clinical trials are necessary to further determine the precise indications, benefits, and risks of each OA in the treatment of OSA.
