Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS) – A Solution for Snoring and Sleep Apnea What is a Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS)? A Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS), commonly referred to as a snoring appliance, is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This custom-fitted dental device is designed to gently reposition the lower jaw, preventing airway obstruction and improving airflow during sleep. If you're struggling with disrupted sleep patterns, constant snoring, or breathing difficulties while sleeping, an MAS could significantly enhance your quality of life and overall health. How Does the Mandibular Advancement Splint Work? The MAS works by advancing the lower jaw slightly forward, which helps to keep the airway open while you sleep. This simple adjustment prevents the collapse of tissues in the back of the throat, which is the primary cause of snoring and sleep apnea. By maintaining an open airway, the device helps reduce interruptions in breathing during sleep and encourages deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.
Health Benefits of Using a Mandibular Advancement Splint Using an MAS can lead to a wide range of health benefits, as it addresses the root cause of snoring and sleep apnea. Here are some key advantages:
- Improved Sleep Quality: Experience longer, uninterrupted sleep, which contributes to overall better health and higher energy levels throughout the day.
- Reduction in Risk of Serious Health Conditions: Studies show that untreated sleep apnea can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure (hypertension), asthma, pneumonia, and other cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. By improving sleep, the MAS helps to reduce these health risks dramatically.
- Increased Oxygen Flow: The splint helps increase oxygen levels in the blood during sleep, which is crucial for maintaining optimal organ function and supporting the cardiovascular system.
- Minimal Discomfort: Unlike other treatments, such as CPAP machines, the Mandibular Advancement Splint is non-invasive, comfortable to wear, and has minimal side effects.
Insurance Coverage for MAS Therapy The cost of a Mandibular Advancement Splint is often covered by many private and statutory health insurances when prescribed by an ENT specialist. The treatment is medically recognized and considered an effective solution for addressing snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
