What are Mandibular Advancement Splints (Sleep Apnoea Mouth Guards)?

Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS), also known as sleep apnoea mouth guard, is a precision-crafted, custom Airway Sleep Device, designed to treat obstructive sleep apnoea by gently repositioning the lower jaw forward during sleep.

This movement helps maintain an open airway, reducing apnoeic episodes and snoring. Recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for mild to moderate OSA, MAS offers a discreet, comfortable alternative to CPAP, ideal for patients seeking a non-invasive, high-compliance solution to restore quality sleep.

MAS: A Game-Changer for Mild to Moderate OSA

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is the only professional society dedicated exclusively to the medical subspecialty of sleep medicine in the USA.

As the leading voice in the sleep field, It is a renowned authority in sleep medicine, setting guidelines and standards for diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, including OSA. They consistently update their recommendations based on scientific research and clinical evidence to provide the most effective treatments to patients.

Mandibular Advancement Splints are custom-made dental appliances that patients wear during sleep. These devices work by repositioning the lower jaw slightly forward, which helps to keep the airway open and prevent airway collapse. 

Numerous clinical studies and research have demonstrated the effectiveness of MAS in reducing the severity of OSA. By improving airflow and reducing the frequency of apnea events, MAS helps patients enjoy more restful sleep.

Unlike Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, which involve wearing a mask and can be uncomfortable for some, MAS is a non-invasive and comfortable treatment option. Patients simply wear the custom-made splint in their mouths while sleeping.

Reference

One of the significant advantages of MAS is the high compliance rate among patients. Many individuals find it easier to adapt to wearing a dental splint compared to a CPAP mask, which can be bulkier and less comfortable.

MAS is custom-designed for each patient, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal results. Dentists specialising in dental sleep medicine carefully assess patients and create personalised devices that align with their unique needs.

Effective treatment with MAS not only reduces the symptoms of OSA but also leads to an improved quality of life. Patients report reduced daytime fatigue, increased alertness, and enhanced overall well-being.
