    摘要: A mandibular positioning device for use with headgear for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (“CPAP”) therapy face masks. The device can be integrated with existing headgear to maintain the position of a user's mandible during sleep while using CPAP therapy in order to prevent displacement of the user's face mask as a result of a posterior shift of the mandible. The device can include a pair of saddles for attaching the device to headgear, as well as a support strap which attaches to each saddle and which has a medial portion disposed underneath the user's chin when worn.
