Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common primary sleep disorder. It is characterized by repetitive partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is an orthognathic surgical procedure that has been used to manage OSA. The main objective of this article is to provide practical guidelines for evaluating and managing OSA patients by MMA. The presentation will focus on MMA for adults, as this is the most common and clinically effective application of MMA to treat OSA.
