This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Sleep apnea is a condition where your airway closes repeatedly during sleep, disrupting your rest. This trial is testing whether a Mandibular Advancement Appliance—an anti-snoring mouth guard that gently holds your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open—works better when patients receive extra support like motivational phone calls and educational videos. The goal is to help people actually use the device regularly, since many patients stop using it.
Many people prescribed this mouth guard stop using it because of discomfort, frustration, or lack of motivation. This trial wants to know if personalized phone support, educational videos, and encouragement can help patients stick with the treatment and get the health benefits they need.

You will receive an anti-snoring mouth guard and be randomly placed into one of two groups. If you're in the extra support group, you'll watch an educational video about sleep apnea, keep a sleep diary, and receive encouraging phone calls at weeks 3, 6, 18, and 21 to help you stay motivated and troubleshoot any problems. If you're in the standard care group, you'll receive the mouth guard with routine care and follow-up calls at 3 and 6 months. All participants will complete some questionnaires about mood, stress, sleep quality, and life satisfaction.
