How Oral Appliance Therapy Works
A mandibular advancement device (MAD) gently repositions your lower jaw forward during sleep, preventing the tongue and soft tissues from collapsing and blocking your airway. This FDA-approved treatment is recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for patients with mild to moderate OSA or those who cannot tolerate CPAP.
