The invention disclsoes systems and methods for providing an automated titration for oral appliance therapy. Provided herein are systems, methods and devices for performing one or more titrations fororal 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. 本发明公开用于提供用于口腔矫治器疗法的自动滴定的系统和方法。本文中提供了用于执行用于口腔矫治器疗法的一个或多个滴定的系统、方法和装置。举例来说，本文中论述了一种用于评定受试者的口腔矫治器疗法的结果的方法。所述方法可包括将可调下颌位移装置定位在受试者的口腔中以及实施自动滴定方案。所述方案可包括：在测试时段期间控制所述可调下颌位移装置的前突水平；在所述测试时段期间监测来自所述受试者的生理信息；以及分析所述生理信息以评定口腔矫治器疗法的所述结果。
