Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a disorder associated with multiple cardiovascular, metabolic and neurocognitive comorbidities which impact the health and quality of life of patients. Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine have a significant role as part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team led by specialist sleep physicians in the overall management of OSA. Based on the recommendations of the medical team and the patient's preference, dentists have a pertinent role in the provision of oral appliance (OA) therapy for OSA. This narrative review provides a practical guide for OA therapy for snoring and OSA.
