Mandibular Advancement Devices

Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) are custom-made oral appliances designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. They work by gently shifting the lower jaw (mandible) forward, which helps keep the airway open during sleep. This prevents airway collapse that causes breathing interruptions and reduces snoring sounds. MADs are typically worn inside the mouth like a mouthguard and are adjustable for comfort and effectiveness. They are a non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines and are most suitable for mild to moderate sleep apnea or significant snoring cases. Proper fitting and regular follow-up ensure optimal results and comfort.
