Mandible-repositioning sleep-disordered breathing orthoses are custom-fitted, removable dental appliances designed to treat conditions like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. By holding the lower jaw in a forward or upward position, these devices help keep the airway open during sleep, reducing obstruction and improving breathing.
These devices are typically classified as medical devices and regulated based on their intended use and risk level. They are often supplied as reusable appliances, fitted by dentists or sleep specialists after assessment, and may require customization for patient comfort and effectiveness.
