Snoring is the most significant feature of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SDB will lead to serious problems in human health. Oral appliances are ensured in therapeutic effect and compliance, especially the MADs. This paper proposes a new MAD design, and the finite element analysis (FEA) is introduced to precede the stress simulation for this MAD.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {1}, year = {2016}, pages = {1 - 5}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10003142}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/109}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 109, 2016}, }
