Mandibular Advancement Device

A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a custom-made oral appliance designed to treat sleep apnea and snoring. It works by gently moving the lower jaw (mandible) forward, which helps keep the airway open during sleep. This prevents airway collapse that causes breathing interruptions or snoring. The device is worn inside the mouth, like a mouthguard, and is adjustable for comfort and effectiveness. It’s a non-invasive alternative to surgery and can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce health risks associated with sleep apnea. Proper fitting and use by a healthcare professional ensure safety and optimal results.
