Dental sleep medicine addresses sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and snoring.
A dental anti-snoring device or mouthpiece is designed to reposition the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, preventing airway obstruction and allowing for better airflow.
This oral appliance therapy, called mandibular advancement device (MAD) or mandibular repositioning device (MRD), offers a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for OSA.
So, how to stop snoring?
Incorporating myofunctional therapy and MAD – this approach is used to treat snoring and mild-moderate OSA.
It is custom-made to fit an individual’s mouth and is designed to reposition the lower jaw and tongue slightly forward, which helps to keep the airway open during sleep, preventing breathing obstructions and promoting better airflow.
MADs are a comfortable and non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines for individuals with mild to moderate OSA or those who find CPAP therapy challenging.
