Sleep dentistry: how mandibular advancement devices (MAD) save your rest and your health

Did you know that a dentist can help solve the problem of snoring and sleep apnea? Modern sleep medicine officially recognizes MAD therapy (Mandibular Advancement Devices) as one of the most effective methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring.

What are MADs and how do they work?

These are specialized mouthguards custom-made from impressions of your teeth. While you sleep, the device gently holds your lower jaw in a slightly forward position. This prevents the soft tissues of the throat from collapsing, keeping your airways open.

Why do patients choose MAD therapy?

  1. Comfort and portability: Unlike CPAP masks, these devices are compact, silent, and require no electricity. They are easy to take with you when traveling.
  2. Improved quality of life: MADs are proven to effectively eliminate daytime sleepiness and fatigue, restoring your energy and focus.
  3. Heart health: Regular use of these devices helps lower blood pressure in patients with sleep apnea.
  4. Quiet nights: MADs are the gold standard for treating snoring, improving sleep not just for you, but for your partner as well.
