Sleep Apnea, Obstructive
Conditions
Interventions
The research is a crossover study to evaluate an innovative mandibular advancement device manufactured by digital flow in Dentistry for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This study will be car
with the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and with the use of an intraoral appliance for mandibular advancement during sleep. Mandibular advancement or titration will be performed progressi
