Abstract: A mandibular advancement splint)MAS) including dentition engagement units, each having a face for operatively abutting a complementary face of the other, and an opposed dentition engagement face which is adapted to positively engage the maxillary or mandibular dentition. A plane of abutment of the faces is approximately normal to the sagittal plane to facilitate sliding displacement of one engagement unit relative to the other. The MAS further includes at least one elastic element configured to operatively exert a user-configurable urging force between said dentition engagement units, so that the mandibular dentition is biased forward and along said abutment plane relative to the maxillary dentition when the splint is in use.
