What is Oral Appliance Therapy?

Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-made device worn inside the mouth during sleep.

It works by repositioning the lower jaw forward, which:

• Opens the airway
• Prevents airway collapse
• Improves airflow
• Reduces snoring
• Reduces sleep apnea severity

This device is also called a mandibular advancement device (MAD).

How Oral Appliance Treats Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when airway collapses during sleep.

Oral appliance prevents collapse by:

• Stabilizing jaw position
• Preventing tongue obstruction
• Maintaining airway opening

This significantly improves breathing and sleep quality.
