Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) includes mouth breathing, snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome
(UARS), and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Obstructive sleep apnoea is defined as 5 or more episodes of complete
(apnoea) or partial (hypopnea) upper airway obstruction per hour of sleep. In this case report we are describing one such
case of sleep apnoea where patient is treated using devices. Satisfactory results were acquired post appliance insertion in
the patient thereby indicating that in moderate cases appliances can be used to manage sleep apnoea.
