Abstract
- The benefits of the Herbst thermoformed advancement splint in the treatment of obstructive breathing disorders during sleep have been assessed in numerous studies. Unfortunately, like all other mandibular advancement devices, patients fail to wear it regularly in the long-term. Injuries, discomfort or pain caused by errors in manufacture or adjustment are generally blamed for this. After a critical review of the literature, some solutions are proposed to improve production of the orthesis and patient management.
