What are Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea?

Oral appliances refer to a variety of special devices that are placed inside the mouth while the patient sleeps. The precise design of these oral appliances helps to adjust the placement of the jaw while sleeping or prevent the tongue from obstructing the airway to help make it easier for the patient to breath while they rest.

Types of Oral Appliances

The Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is the most common type of oral appliance used for the treatment of sleep apnea. The MAD resembles the appearance of a mouth guard used during sports. The Device helps to shift the lower jaw forward while the patient sleeps which reduces any restriction along the back of the throat and opens up the airway to make breathing easier.

Tongue Restraining Devices (TRDs) are a type of additional feature that can be added in cases where the patient suffers from obstructive sleep apnea. TRDs help to prevent the tongue from falling to the back of the mouth and obstructing the airway.
