Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) at South Gate Dental Clinic

The Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a dental appliance designed to treat sleep apnea and snoring by gently repositioning the lower jaw forward during sleep, thereby keeping the airway open and preventing obstructions. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we offer the Mandibular Advancement Device as a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP therapy for patients with sleep apnea. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of MAD, how it works, and how our experienced team can help you find relief from sleep apnea and enjoy restful sleep.

Benefits of Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD):

1. Comfortable and Non-Invasive: Unlike CPAP therapy, which involves wearing a mask and using a machine during sleep, the Mandibular Advancement Device is a small, custom-made oral appliance that fits comfortably in the mouth, making it an attractive option for patients who find CPAP therapy cumbersome or uncomfortable.
2. Effective Treatment: MAD works by gently advancing the lower jaw forward, which helps to open the airway and prevent collapses or obstructions that lead to sleep apnea and snoring. It has been shown to effectively reduce the severity of sleep apnea and improve sleep quality in many patients.
3. Customized Fit: Each Mandibular Advancement Device is custom-made to fit the unique contours of the patient's mouth, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. Our experienced dental team will take impressions of your teeth to create a personalized MAD that provides optimal results and maximum comfort.
4. Improved Compliance: Many patients find MAD easier to tolerate and more compliant with regular use compared to CPAP therapy, leading to better adherence to treatment and improved sleep outcomes.
