Sleep Apnea Devices
Learn how to Effectively Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Revolutionary MAD System.
Sleep apnea devices
According to the American Sleep Association, nearly 70 million adults in the United States suffer from some kind of sleep disorder. Approximately 25 million of these people suffer from sleep apnea, a condition that causes them to stop breathing for a short period of time during sleep. Although the most common treatment for sleep apnea is a CPAP device, some people may use a mandibular advancement device (MAD) to help them sleep better.
What is the function of a mandibular advancement device?
MADs reduce the symptoms and effects of sleep apnea by moving the jaw farther forward during sleep. Pushing the lower jaw to the front helps open the airway and reduce the number of times the patient's breathing pauses during sleep.
What conditions can the mandibular advancement device treat?
Although sleep apnea is the condition most associated with MADs, it is not the only sleep problem it can treat. The device can also help patients with snoring problems or those who grind their teeth. It is worth mentioning that sleep apnea usually causes nighttime bruxism, so using DAMs means solving two problems at once.
Where can I get my mandibular advancement devices?
Usually you can get it in any health establishment or online, however dentists will always recommend you to go to an appointment to find out if this is the solution you need and that the devices you have are customized for you, giving you greater comfort, safety and effectiveness, if you are interested in this treatment do not hesitate to schedule your free appointment at Hoffmann Family Dentistry
