A remote-controlled mandibular positioner for conveniently and precisely positioning the mandible during a sleep center or in-hospital study of patients who are candidates for mandibular positioner therapy. The remote-controlled mandibular positioner is used during sleep to perform a therapeutic titration study during full polysomnographic monitoring to determine the mandible position effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea. During the titration study, the mandible is advanced by a technician using the remote-controlled mandibular positioner until all apneas and hypopneas are eliminated. The titration study determines whether a mandibular positioner will be effective in treating a particular patient, and if so, the degree of mandibular ventral displacement required for effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
