How does a mandibular repositioning device affect teeth alignment?

I have sleep apnea and I am thinking of using a mandibular repositioning device. However, I had braces when I was younger and I am worried the MRD will undo the work I previously had done on my teeth. How does a mandibular repositioning device affect teeth alignment?

It is important to get treatment from an orthodontist trained in sleep medicine or your bite can be altered, thus complicating your condition.
