Which is the Best Mandibular Advancement Device for Sleep Apnea?
There are various mandibular devices on the market. These are famous snoring mouthpieces that work by moving and keeping the lower jaw in a forward throughout the night. By doing this, they help keep the back of the throat open. This in turn significantly reduces or completely stops snoring.
The best MADs are those that are customizable for your mouth. These devices are comfortable and provide the best results.
Do Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) Work?
A scientific study that involved 20 participants, (who were heavy snorers), was carried out in 2005 to establish the efficiency of MAD snoring mouthpieces.
From the study, 65% of the participating snorers tolerated the mouthpieces. The MADs were 100% effective in preventing snoring for them. The study further concluded that the MADs were also an excellent solution to Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
The downside of MADs is that they cause fatigue and soreness of the jaws. However, these signs disappear as you get more comfortable sleeping with the device over the nights.
Are MADs Safe?
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved most of the MADs in the market as safe for use.
However, you should check the safety of materials used to make the model you purchase (should be made of copolymer). Also, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to benefit to the maximum and also avoid any dangers.
What are the available sizes?
Unlike Tongue Restraining Devices that come ready to use, fitting MADs can be a little challenging. You might even have to go to the dentist to get them fitted.
However, most MADS use boil and bite technology. Here are the instructions for fitting MADs:
- Dip the molding component in boiling water
- Remove it and run in under cold water to cool
- Insert it in your mouth then bite down make it form the shape of your teeth and gums
