Background technique

Snoring is one of the main symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea hyperpnoeasydrome (OSAHS). It is manifested as a syndrome in which the airflow in the oronasal cavity stops and the breathing action of the chest and abdomen exists. Snoring not only affects other people's rest, hinders daily life and social interaction, but also can cause damage to multiple organs. It is a potential factor for many diseases such as hypertension and arrhythmia. There are several treatments for OSAHS. The application of mandibular advancement appliances to OSAHS patients began in the 1980s, and its design was inspired by orthodontic functional appliances. It is favored by patients and doctors because of its affordable price and definite curative effect. Its function is to make the patient's mandible protrude, thereby pulling the suprahyoid muscle group and genioglossus muscle forward, maintaining the volume of the pharyngeal cavity of OSAHS patients, and preventing airway collapse caused by the contraction of the lateral pharyngeal ring during sleep. Practice has proved that after applying the mandibular advancement appliance, the patient's sleep apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), average oxygen saturation and snoring will change significantly, and even blood pressure will drop significantly.

At present, there are many types of mandibular advancement orthotics for the treatment of OSAHS, most of which are based on the functional orthotic Activator, and there are many improved ones. Clinically, OSAHS mandibular advancement aligners need to make upper and lower braces that can adapt to the patient's own natural teeth according to the physiological characteristics of the patient.
