Comparing two mouthpieces for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of dental mouthpieces used to treat sleep apnea. Participants will temporarily stop using their current mouthpiece for two weeks to see how they do without it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea with an AHI score of 5 or higher.
- You currently use a ResMed or SomnoMed mouthpiece and have been using it for at least 3 months, at least 4 hours each night.
- You are willing to stop using your mouthpiece for 2 weeks during the study.
- You do not have jaw joint problems, recent dental surgery, or other conditions that would make using the mouthpiece unsafe.
- You are not a professional driver or in a job requiring constant alertness, and you are not pregnant or planning pregnancy.

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.
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.
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 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 compares two common treatments for moderate sleep apnea: a custom mouthpiece that gently advances your jaw, and a CPAP machine that blows air to keep your airway open. The goal is to see which treatment works better for improving sleep and daytime symptoms.
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.
