“…In 2013, The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) accepted an evidence-based definition of an effective oral appliance for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring ( Scherr et al, 2014 ). This definition outlines the purpose, physical features, and function of sleep appliances.…”

“…The physical features of an effective appliance include being custom-made, being made of biocompatible materials, engaging both the maxilla and mandible, allowing measurable, incremental (1 mm or less) forward and backward titration of the mandible with a mandibular advancement the protrusive setting must be verifiable. An effective appliance has to also be retentive, easy to wear and take off by the patient or the caregiver, and has structural integrity for at least 3 years ( Scherr et al, 2014 ).…”

“…The 2014 consensus paper by the AADSM describes the purpose, function, and physical features of an effective OA. 34 An effective OA is defined as a custom-fabricated, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared device that is designed to maintain airway patency during sleep for the management of OSA. 34 An effective OA helps to protrude and stabilize the mandible to preserve the patency of the upper airway during sleep.…”

“…34 An effective OA is defined as a custom-fabricated, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared device that is designed to maintain airway patency during sleep for the management of OSA. 34 An effective OA helps to protrude and stabilize the mandible to preserve the patency of the upper airway during sleep. Custom, adjustable dual-arch OAs have been shown to be highly efficacious for treating primary snoring and mild-moderate OSA and may have significant benefit in more severe disease where other treatment modalities are not effective.…”

Oral appliance therapy (OAT) has been used to manage sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs), such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, for more than 20 years. However, dental sleep medicine standards of clinical practice have not been clearly defined. SRBD prevalence rates have grown to double digits, presenting an increased need for dentists proficient in dental sleep medicine. A standardized approach to patient management, which underscores the collaborative nature necessary between dentists and physicians, is needed. These standards provide guidance for patient examination, patient screening, education, and treatment management including follow-up care. Although this paper introduces best practices for the practice of dental sleep medicine as it currently exists, the reader should recognize the fluid and dynamic nature of dental sleep medicine and understand that periodic updates to these standards will be required.
