Comparing dental scans for sleep apnea mouthpiece fitting
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to use digital dental scans to fit a mouthpiece that treats obstructive sleep apnea. If you use this mouthpiece, the study may help make fitting more comfortable and accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (AHI 5–30)
- You are already using a mouthpiece (MAD) for sleep apnea
- You have not had surgery on your jaw or face
- You are not pregnant, not on chemotherapy or radiation, and not taking certain bone medications or long-term steroids
- You do not have severe gum disease, jaw joint problems, or braces
- You have enough healthy teeth to hold the mouthpiece

This trial looks at how well a mouthpiece (NOA OATMAD) works for people already being treated for sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use this type of dental appliance, you may be able to help researchers understand if it is effective.
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
This study tests whether using an anti-snoring mouth guard (a mandibular advancement appliance) can help keep your airway open during sleep if you have obstructive sleep apnea. If you’re referred for this kind of mouth guard, the trial will see if using it more regularly or in a specific way improves symptoms or breathing during sleep.
This trial studies a way to predict which people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may not do well after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (jaw advancement). It could help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid ineffective surgery.
This study compares a new device that tracks jaw movement during sleep to the standard sleep study (polysomnography) for diagnosing sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have symptoms like loud snoring or daytime sleepiness and have been referred for a sleep study.
