Oral appliances are an effective therapy for OSA, although outcomes are widely recognised to vary patient to patient and this remains a perceived barrier to therapy.

This webinar will give an overview of: 

• What we consider successful outcomes with oral appliance therapy are
• Which types of patients they are associated with, and
• Whether we can use this information for patient selection for therapy, including an overview of prediction methods with a focus on recent advances in the area.
