About Mandibular Advancement Device
A custom sleep appliance
The mandible is the lower jawbone. A mandibular advancement device is designed to hold that jaw slightly forward during sleep. Different styles and materials can be used to create the appliance.
Snoring and sleep-apnea care
Moving the lower jaw forward may help reduce snoring and support treatment for selected cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea. Broadway Dental can discuss the dental appliance while your diagnosing clinician guides the medical side of sleep-apnea care.
Common questions.
What does a mandibular advancement device do?
The appliance holds the mandible, or lower jaw, in a forward position while you sleep. This can help support the airway and reduce snoring.
Can it treat sleep apnea?
Oral appliances may be used for some people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A sleep-apnea diagnosis and coordinated care with the appropriate clinician are important.
