This positions the tongue forward, improves airflow, and prevents snoring and pauses in breathing. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MAD is used to treat <strong>Obstructive Sleep Apnea <strong>(OSA)<\/strong><\/strong> as an alternative to the CPAP machines traditionally used for this condition. It is also suitable for individuals with chronic snoring. However, it is not suitable for all types of apnea; other solutions must be considered for central sleep apnea or mixed apnea.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This treatment <strong>requires a prescription from a specialist<\/strong>\u2014such as a pulmonologist, clinical neurophysiologist, otolaryngologist (ENT), or sleep medicine specialist. Once the individual&#8217;s condition has been assessed and the <strong>MAD<\/strong> determined to be the best solution, the patient must visit a dental professional to have the device properly fitted and to ensure appropriate follow-up. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It consists of two splints\u2014one for the upper jaw and one for the lower jaw\u2014connected by bars, screws, magnets, or another fastening system (depending on the manufacturer). These push the lower jaw forward, thereby shifting the tongue and soft tissues of the mouth slightly forward as well, allowing air to circulate more freely through the airways. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages of the Mandibular Advancement Device<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Suitable for mild to moderate apnea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces or eliminates snoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A comfortable, non-invasive treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight and silent: it makes no noise, facilitating restful sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It takes up no space and is easily portable, as it requires no cables or connections; this makes it much more manageable than a CPAP machine and offers the patient greater freedom of movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is easy to maintain: simply clean it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap and water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It delivers quick results: within just a few days, the fatigue or drowsiness caused by conditions such as OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) or snoring can disappear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pneumosfera<\/strong> offers mandibular advancement devices from various manufacturers to suit every type of patient.
