Résumé
Description of the characteristics of some of the most widely used devices for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring. The use of these devices during sleep to reposition the mandible and/or tongue to a more anterior position contributes to avoid snoring and to reduce considerably, in some selected cases, the apnea-hypopnea index (AHl).
