The Study Of Mandibular Position Applied To Oral Appliance For Treatment Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Oral appliances are generally designed to displace one's mandible forward and downward, thus increasing the airway patency of the patient. Although it has been reported that the activity of the muscle genioglossus (GG) is increased by displacing the mandible protrusively, there is no study evaluating the relation between GG activity and the vertical displacement of mandible.
