Mandibular Advancement Devices As A Treatment For Sleep Apnea
These Devices Prevent Snoring By Advancing The Jaw And Tongue Forward, Preventing Airway Obstruction
Snoring has many causes, including age which relaxes the tissue behind the tongue, obesity, in which excess fat tissue in the neck narrows the air passage, and sinuses, among others. Even though the standard treatment consists of CPAP machines, which use positive pressure to force air to the lungs, some people may not support or get accustomed to it. An alternate treatment is using a mandibular advanced device (MAD). It is oriented to people who snore through the mouth (as opposed to snoring through the nose). MADs pull the tongue and the jaw forward when sleeping, increasing the space behind the tongue, and also the airflow. These devices stay in place attaching to the teeth, making sure that the tongue does not obstruct the airway.https://justnosnoring.com/77f3
