1. An adaptation system (500), comprising
a mouthpiece (10), configured to be positioned in a mouth of a person,
an external sensoring device (20), configured to be positioned at the person,
wherein the external sensoring device (20) comprises at least one sensor (22) configured to sense at least one measurable quantity when the mouthpiece (10) is positioned in the person's mouth and the external sensoring device (20) is positioned at the person,
wherein
the adaptation system (500) comprises an analysis device (30) configured to determine a compliance of the adaptation system and/or to determine an orientation of an upper jaw (100) and a lower jaw (200) to each other derived from the at least one sensed measurable quantity,
characterised in that
the system (500) comprises a prediction device (70) which is configured to evaluate a template dataset based on the at least one measurable quantity sensed by the at least one sensor (22), wherein the template dataset characterises a template of an optimised mouthpiece (10′) with modified orientation of the upper jaw (100) and the lower jaw (200) to each other, wherein the system (500) is configured to transmit the template dataset to a 3D printer.
