How long does it take to get used to my oral appliance?

Everybody responds differently to his or her oral appliance, therefore adjustment periods vary from person to person. You must be patient and listen to your body.

Some people adjust very quickly to the appliance and can wear it all night after the first week. Others may have to gradually increase the hours of use each night over several weeks. This means the effectiveness of your appliance will be limited during this adjustment period.
