Increasing the Use of an Anti-snoring Mouth Guard (Mandibular Advancement Appliance) to Prevent Upper Airway Collapse During Sleep in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.

"The Behaviour change intervention based on the Health Action Process Approach model entails delivering interventions in a staged manner. Following are the intervention that will be delivered along with the time point of the delivery.~1. Health Pamphlet at the initial screening~2. Sleep Apnoea video highlighting the negative consequences at the day of the fitting of the appliance~3. Counseling involving motivational interviewing for both the participant and the participant's partner at the day of fitting of the appliance and follow up visits.~4. Booster phone calls in between the follow-up visits"

"Patients with mild-to-moderate sleep apnoea are treated with Mandibular Advancement Appliances \[MAA\] also known as Anti-snoring mouth guards or Oral appliances. These are best made to fit and use the teeth to hold them in place during sleep. They work by moving (in a gradual fashion) the bottom jaw forward, opening the airway at the back of the throat.~Both the arms- Intervention arm and Standardized arm will be given the anti-snoring mouth guard. The usage of the device will be measured subjectively by providing a sleep diary to the participants to record the hour of the usage and objectively by downloading the data from a micro sensor chip embedded in the device."
