Provided herein are systems, methods and devices for performing one or more titrations for oral appliance therapy. For example, a method for evaluating an outcome of oral appliance therapy in a subject is discussed herein. The method can include positioning an adjustable mandibular displacement device in an oral cavity of a subject and implementing an automatic titration protocol. The protocol can include controlling a protrusion level of the adjustable mandibular displacement device during a test period, monitoring physiological information from the subject during the test period, and analyzing the physiological information to evaluate the outcome of oral appliance therapy.
