First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tested two methods for setting the jaw position in dental sleep apnea devices: one using speech sounds and the other using the standard forward-push technique. Eleven adults with obstructive sleep apnea tried both methods to see if they worked equally well. The goal was to find out if using speech could be a simpler or more comfortable way to fit the device.
