What percentage of people find the appliance to be effective?
A. If the problem is snoring only, the appliance is effective in approximately 85%-90% of patients. When treating apnea, the appliance is 60-80% effective, depending on the severity of the apnea. The appliance tends to be more effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea although we have had success in treating numerous cases of severe apnea.
