Predicting teeth changes from sleep apnea mouthpiece treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at people with sleep apnea who are using a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device). It aims to find out which factors predict changes in how your teeth fit together after using the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had recent panoramic and lateral head X-rays taken around the time you started your mouthpiece therapy.
- You are covered by a social security scheme.
- You are able to give written consent to participate.

This trial tests if a new 3D scanning method can better fit a dental device (MAD) for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help those using a MAD get more effective treatment.
This study tests how well a dental device called a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) prevents changes in your bite and jaw alignment. It is for adults with sleep-disordered breathing who already have healthy, well-restored teeth.
This trial tests a custom mouthpiece to treat mild or moderate sleep apnea by moving your jaw forward during sleep. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully without a bulky machine.
This study is testing if a dental device (mouthpiece that moves the lower jaw forward) can work as well as a CPAP machine for people with moderate sleep apnea. It might be a good option if CPAP is uncomfortable or you want an alternative.
This trial tests how well people accept a mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have sleep apnea and can wear a device that moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a mandibular advancement device (a fitted mouthpiece) can control sleep apnea when you temporarily stop CPAP. It’s mainly for people who have been using CPAP for over a year but are now willing to try the mouth device.
