Research Notes on Sleep Apnea Appliances
There are many people who have sleep apnea that do not like to wear the CPAP device. There is another option for people who have sleep apnea-an oral appliance. There are more than 40 different types of oral appliances available. They are classified into one of two categories: Tongue retaining appliances contain a suction bulb that pulls the tongue forward and prevents if from falling back and obstructing the air passageway in the throat. Also, Mandibular repositioning devices reposition the lower jaw, holding it in a forward position during sleep.
