Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study explores the effectiveness of passive myofunctional appliances as a treatment option for patients suffering from mild obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. It aims to determine the appropriate sizing for individual patients and assess whether these appliances can serve as a transitional or direct treatment method. The study utilizes innovative techniques, such as speech-based mandibular positioning, to potentially reduce side effects associated with traditional oral appliances. By comparing passive appliances to standard oral appliances, the research seeks to provide a quicker and more cost-effective solution for patients.
