a
n = 16, 2 out of 18 patients were not used to wearing the MAA at the end of the habituation period. bScores are based on a VAS-scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is uncomfortable and 100 is very comfortable. cScores are based on a VAS-scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is unsatisfied and 100 is very satisfied. dScores are based on a VAS-scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is inefficient and 100 is very efficient. MAA = mandibular advancement appliance, SD = standard deviation.
