^{The aforementioned paper in “Thorax”, April 1997 utilized The Silencer® (AMP – described as anterior mandibular positioner) and contains the following direct quotation:  “…Our results suggest that oral appliances should be considered first-line treatment for patients with symptomatic mild to moderate OSA as most prefer this treatment to CPAP when both treatments have been shown to be effective … no patient developed any evidence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction….80% were moderately or very satisfied with the mandibular advancement appliance”.}
