About this treatment
A mandibular advancement device holds the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep, which helps keep the airway open. It is a recognised option for snoring and for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, and for patients who can't tolerate CPAP.
Orthodontics at Manhal looks beyond straight teeth. The position of the jaws affects the bite, the joints and the space available for breathing, so assessment covers all three before an appliance is chosen.
